Abstract
In semistructured data, the information that is normally associated with
a schema is contained within the data, which is sometimes called
"self-describing". In some forms of semistructured data there is no
separate schema, in others it exists but only places loose constraints
on the data. Semistructured data has recently emerged as an important
topic of study for a variety of reasons. First, there are data sources
such as the Web, which we would like to treat as databases but which
cannot be constrained by a schema. Second, it may be desirable to have
an extremely flexible format for data exchange between disparate databases.
Third, even when dealing with structured data, it may be helpful to view it
as semistructured for the purposes of browsing. This tutorial will cover a
number of issues surrounding such data: finding a concise formulation,
building a sufficiently expressive language for querying and transformation,
and optimization problems.
