Abstract |
Abstract With the abundance of XML data on the web, considerable energy is spent towards enriching them with semantics in the form of annotations. These annotations can range from simple metadata (e.g. specifying the author of a news article) to complex semantic relationships between data items (e.g. linking a news article about a company to the web-site of that company). Although the vision of supporting such annotations is spreading in the semantic web community, no considerable progress has been made in creating the infrastructure that will enable it.
To this end we propose XRP; a system that enables the storage and querying of annotated XML documents. The system consists of (i) a data model for representing annotated XML documents and (ii) a query language for querying them. In the data model annotated documents are represented as XML documents augmented with RDF triples that can refer to XML nodes. In turn, the query language combines the expressive power of XML and RDF query languages to allow querying these documents seamlessly according to both their structure and semantic annotations. In this paper, we define the data model and query language, describe a prototype implementation of the system and present experimental results showcasing its performance and relevance in practice.
