Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4570))

Abstract

Measuring structural similarity between XML documents has become a key component in various applications, including XML data mining, schema matching, web service discovery, among others. The paper presents a novel structural similarity measure between XML documents using kernel methods. Results on preliminary simulations show that this outperforms conventional ones.
