Abstract

Keyword search querying has emerged as one of the most effective paradigms for information discovery, especially over HTML documents in the World Wide Web and much work has been done in this domain. Specifically, With the increasing application of XML in web, the study on XML keyword search has been gaining growing attention of the researchers. Great efforts have also been made in recent years to facilitate XML keyword search to be as convenient as the text document search of web so that the users could conduct query simply by inputting the intended keywords without the necessity of gaining much knowledge about XML schema or XQuery. Despite all the advantages, this query method will certainly give rise to the inaccuracy of the query result, and given that approaches have been proposed by the researchers. This paper survey several representative papers with the purpose of extending the general knowledge of the research orientation of the XML keyword search.
