20110289118 | MAPPING DOCUMENTS TO A RELATIONAL DATABASE TABLE WITH A DOCUMENT POSITION COLUMN - Architecture that maps document data (e.g., XML-extended markup language) into columns of one table, thereby avoiding schema normalization problems through special data storage. Moreover, an algorithm is described that can translate a query (e.g., in XPath (XML path language), a query language for navigating through document elements and attributes of an XML document) into a relational algebra query of the document column representation. Based on the characteristics of the new mapping, query rewriting rules are provided that optimize the relational algebra query by minimizing the number of joins. The mapping of XML documents to the table is based on a summary structure and a hierarchical labeling scheme (e.g., ordpath) to enable a high-fidelity representation. Annotations are employed on the summary structure nodes to assist in mapping XML elements and attributes to the table. | 11-24-2011 |
20110307501 | Automating Evolution of Schemas and Mappings - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to automating evolution of schemas and mappings. In aspects, mappings between a conceptual model and a store model are updated automatically in response to a change that occurs to the conceptual model. For example, when a change occurs to the conceptual model, a local scope of the change is determined. The local scope indicates mappings that are most similar to the type(s) affected by the change. Based on the local scope, a pattern of mappings between the conceptual model and the store model is determined. Using this pattern and the nature of the change, the mappings are updated according to the pattern. In addition, the store model and data thereon may be updated in a manner to preserve existing data that is not to be deleted in response to the change. | 12-15-2011 |
20110314043 | FULL-FIDELITY REPRESENTATION OF XML-REPRESENTED OBJECTS - A data structure may exist in various representations, such as an object in an object-oriented system or a set of elements included in an extensible markup language (XML) document structured according to an XML type defined in an XML schema. While many aspects of these representations may correspond, some aspects of an XML document may not be specified by the XML schema (such as developer comments, whitespace, and preprocessor directives), and may be lost while translating an XML representation of the data structure to an object. These non-schematized aspects may be included in the object as a delta, specifying the location of an aspect with relation to an element defined by the XML schema. Preserving non-schematized aspects may promote the full representation of the data structure as an object, and may facilitate a full-fidelity regeneration of the XML document from which the object was generated. | 12-22-2011 |
20120265734 | INCREMENTAL COMPILATION OF OBJECT-TO-RELATIONAL MAPPINGS - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to incrementally modifying schemas and mappings. In aspects, an indication of a change to a client schema is received and a compilation directive is received. The compilation directive may indicate how one or more entities or associations in the client schema are to be mapped to the store schema. In response to receiving the indication of the change and the compilation directive, mapping data and storage schema may be incrementally modified with incremental revalidation and incremental updating of query and update views. | 10-18-2012 |
20130275474 | Automating Evolution of Schemas and Mappings - Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to automating evolution of schemas and mappings. In aspects, mappings between a conceptual model and a store model are updated automatically in response to a change that occurs to the conceptual model.

In addition, the store model and data thereon may be updated in a manner to preserve existing data that is not to be deleted in response to the change. | 10-17-2013 |
