Documents include Paper and Presentation. ; Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO) SIW Conference Paper ; XML has become a popular representation format for data, both in modeling and simulation and elsewhere. However, XML's design choice of a text-based format also makes XML data files much larger than binary files, making XML languages difficult to use in bandwidth-constrained military applications. This limitation has resulted in several ad-hoc attempts to make XML more compact, each of which tends to be incompatible with the other. Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Working Draft for the compact and efficient representation of the XML infoset. EXI is designed to be generally applicable to all XML documents, and lays the foundation for a unified format for compact XML document representation. This paper presents compactness results for several popular modeling and simulation XML file formats, including Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and Extensible 3D Graphics (X3D). Recent commercial and open source EXI implementations are also described. ; Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA.

XML is quickly being utilized in the field of technical communication to transfer information from database to person and company to company. Often communicators will structure information without a second thought of how or why certain tags are used to mark up the information. Because the company or a manual says to use those tags, the communicator does so. However, if professionals want to unlock the true potential of XML for better sharing of information across platforms, they need to understand the effects the technology using XML as well as political and cultural factors have on the tags being used. This thesis reviewed literature from multiple fields utilizing XML to find how tag choices can be influenced. XML allows for the sharing of information across multiple platforms and databases. Because of this efficiency, XML is utilized by many technologies. Often communicators must tag information so that the technologies can find the marked up information; therefore, technologies like single sourcing, data mining, and knowledge management influence the types of tags created. Additionally, cultural and political influences are analyzed to see how they play a role in determining what tags are used and created for specific documents. The thesis concludes with predictions on the future of XML and the technological, political, and cultural influences associated with XML tag sets based on information found within the thesis. ; 2011-12-01 ; M.A. ; Arts and Humanities, English ; Masters ; This record was generated from author submitted information.

Esta tesis se centra en la personalización de esta nueva y desafiante aproximación de la recuperación de información estructurada (RIE), ya que cuando se trabaja con distintas partes de los documentos aparecen algunos problemas adicionales, p.e. el problema del solapamiento, pero en la mayoría de los casos es trivial aplicar las técnicas desarrolladas sobre documentos no estructurados, cosa que no sucede al contrario. A lo largo de esta tesis hemos usado una colección documental compuesta por documentos en formato XML del Parlamento de Andalucía (PA) - la comunidad autónoma del sur de Espa~na establecida en 1982. Nuestro grupo de investigaci on, Uncertainty Treatment in Artificial Intelligence (UTAI), coopera con el PA desde el a~no 2005. Durante esta colaboración nos han proporcionado sus dos principales publicaciones oficiales: los diarios de sesiones y los boletines oficiales. Debemos destacar que la colección documental anterior ha sido la usada en la mayoría de experimentos llevados a cabo en esta tesis, pero por supuesto, todo el trabajo desarrollado es independiente de esta colección en concreto y es perfectamente válido con cualquier otra colección documental apropiada. ; This thesis is focused on personalizing this new and challenging SIR approach, as some problems appear when dealing with diferent parts of a document, e.g. the overlapping problem, but in most of the cases it is trivial to apply the developed techniques to deal with at documents, which would not happen the other way around. Along this thesis we have used a document collection composed by documents in XML format from the Andalusian Parliament (AP) - the southern spanish autonomous region established in 1982. Our research group, Uncertainty Treatment in Artifcial Intelligence (UTAI), has been cooperating with the AP since 2005. Along this collaboration they have been providing us with their two main ofcial publications: the record of parliamentary proceedings and the ofcial bulletins. It must be noted that the previous document collection has been used in most of the experiments carried out in this thesis, but of course, all the developed work is independent of this collection and it would perfectly works with any other appropriate document collection. ; Tesis Univ.

The erosion of trust put in traditional database servers and in Database Service Providers and the growing interest for different forms of selective data dissemination are different factors that lead to move the access control from servers to clients. Different data encryption and key dissemination schemes have been proposed to serve this purpose. By compiling the access control rules into the encryption process, all these methods suffer from a static way of sharing data. With the emergence of hardware security elements on client devices, more dynamic client-based access control schemes can be devised. This thesis proposes a tamper-resistant client-based XML access right controller supporting flexible and dynamic access control policies. The access control engine is embedded in a hardware secure device and therefore must cope with specific hardware resources. This engine takes benefit from a dedicated index to quickly converge towards the authorized parts of a – potentially streaming – XML document. Additional security mechanisms guarantee that the input document is protected from any form of tampering and replay attacks. Finally, we provide performance measurements and show the viability of our approach on smart cards in various application contexts. ; La baisse de confiance accordée aux serveurs traditionnels de bases de données et aux hébergeurs de bases de données (Database Service Providers) ainsi que l'intérêt croissant pour la distribution sélective de données sont différents facteurs qui amènent à migrer le contrôle d'accès du serveur vers les terminaux clients. Plusieurs schémas de chiffrement et de dissémination de clés ont été proposés dans ce but mais en compilant les règles de contrôle d'accès dans le processus de chiffrement, ils imposent tous un partage statique des données. L'apparition de composants matériels sécurisés sur divers terminaux clients permet de lever cette limitation en permettant de concevoir de nouveaux schémas dynamiques de contrôle d'accès sur le client. Cette thèse présente un évaluateur sécurisé de politiques de contrôle d'accès flexibles et dynamiques sur des documents XML. Cet évaluateur est embarqué dans un composant matériel sécurisé et doit par conséquent s'adapter à des contraintes matérielles spécifiques. Il tire pour cela parti d'un index dédié pour converger rapidement vers les parties autorisées d'un document arrivant éventuellement en flux sur le terminal client. Des mécanismes supplémentaires de sécurité garantissent que le document d'entrée est protégé contre toute forme de modification illicite et d'attaque de rejeu. La viabilité de notre approche est montrée dans divers contextes applicatifs sur des cartes à puces actuelles et est validée par des mesures de performance.

A great deal of research into the learning of schemas from XML data has been conducted in recent years to enable the automatic discovery of XML Schemas from XML documents when no schema, or only a low-quality one is available. Unfortunately, and in strong contrast to, for instance, the relational model, the automatic discovery of even the simplest of XML constraints, namely XML keys, has been left largely unexplored in this context. A major obstacle here is the unavailability of a theory on reasoning about XML keys in the presence of XML schemas, which is needed to validate the quality of candidate keys. The present paper embarks on a fundamental study of such a theory and classifies the complexity of several crucial properties concerning XML keys in the presence of an XSD, like, for instance, testing for consistency, boundedness, satisfiability, universality, and equivalence. Of independent interest, novel results are obtained related to cardinality estimation of XPath result sets. A mining algorithm is then developed within the framework of levelwise search. The algorithm leverages known discovery algorithms for functional dependencies in the relational model, but incorporates the above mentioned properties to assess and refine the quality of derived keys. An experimental study on an extensive body of real world XML data evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is provided. ; Hercules foundation, Flemish Government, Fondecyt Grant #1131049, FP7-ICT- 233599 and ERC grant agreement DIADEM, no. 246858.

Trotz einer zunehmenden Zahl von Software-Werkzeugen zur qualitativen Datenanalyse (QDA) wird dem Forscher die richtige Wahl eines geeigneten Systems nicht gerade leicht gemacht. Und mit der Entscheidung für ein bestimmtes System legt man sich in der Regel auch auf ein bestimmtes, herstellereigenes ("proprietäres") Format der Rohdaten und Projekte fest. Selten wird man die Möglichkeit finden, Primärdaten und Projekte, die mit dem einen System erstellt und bearbeitet wurden, in das Format eines anderen Softwarewerkzeugs zu konvertieren. Etwaige vorhandene Ex- und Import-Schnittstellen sind oft unzureichend und bei der Migration gehen oft Informationen verloren. Der freie Austausch von Daten zwischen verschiedenen Systemen, über die Grenzen von Projekten und Methodologien, und deren Wiederverwendbarkeit auch über lange Zeiträume ist sehr beschränkt. Wünschenswert wäre ein intermediäres universelles Datenformat, aus dem alle (auch künftige) Softwarewerkzeuge die für sie geeigneten Informationen extrahieren können ("Eine Quelle, viele Nutzungsarten"). Einen hierfür geeigneten Rahmen bietet die eXtensible Markup Language (XML). Sie unterstützt die Entwicklung von Repräsentationssprachen für "Datengemeinschaften" (data communities) wie etwa die der qualitativen Forschung; sie erlaubt eine semantisch adäquate Repräsentation der Daten und deren (Wieder-) Verwendung in beliebigen Applikationen. Mit einer auf XML basierenden offenen Datensprache ("OpenQD") wäre so eine ökonomische Wiederverwendung archivierter Primär- und Projektdaten möglich. Dieser Beitrag richtet sich an Forscher, Hersteller von QDA Software und Verwalter von Archiven.
