2008 Proceeding
This volume contains papers selected for presentation at the Third International Workshop on Database Technologies for Handling XML Information on the Web (DataX'08), held in conjunction with the International Conference on Extending Database Technology (EDBT'08) in Nantes (France) on March 25, 2008.
In response to the call for papers, 21 high quality submissions were received. Each paper was carefully reviewed by at least three members of the program committee and external reviewers. As result of this process, 6 papers have been selected as long papers and 4 as short papers for presentation at the workshop. The accepted papers cover a large variety of topics, ranging from query optimization, semantic interoperability and data sharing to stream processing and retrieval on P2P systems.
In addition, Prof. Yannis Papakonstantinou accepted our invitation to discuss new and interesting topics in XML and database research.
Among the accepted papers for the workshop, we have further selected the best papers that are included in this post-workshop proceedings (5 long papers and 3 short papers).

XML research midflight
XML emerged 10 years ago as the flexible standard for information exchange and representation. The database research community had presciently already produced related works on semi-structured data models and proceeded to generate multiple research ...
Using a relational processor and an XPath processor to evaluate joint queries
Conjunctive queries (CQs) are a common abstraction for many query languages (or significant parts thereof) for relational data, XML data or both, such as SQL, XPath, XQuery, XSLT and SQL4X. This work considers the joint querying of relational and XML ...
A cost-based join selection for XML twig content-based queries
XML (Extensible Mark-up Language) has been embraced as a new approach to data modeling. Nowadays, more and more information is formated as semi-structured data, e.g., articles in a digital library, documents on the web, and so on. Implementation of an ...
Rules for query rewrite in native XML databases
In recent years, the database community has seen many sophisticated Structural Join and Holistic Twig Join algorithms as well as several index structures supporting the evaluation of twig query patterns. Even though almost all XML query evaluation ...
Semantic query optimization for processing XML streams with minimized memory footprint
XQuery evaluation over XML streams requires the temporary buffering of XML elements. This paper presents a semantic query optimization solution to minimize memory footprint during XQuery evaluation by exploiting schema knowledge. We focus on one ...
CXLEngine: a comprehensive XML loosely structured search engine
We proposed previously in [9] an XML semantic search engine called OOXSearch, which answers loosely structured queries. It takes into account the semantic relationships between data elements based on their contexts. The context of a data element is ...
Towards automatic generation of AXML web services for dynamic data integration
Active XML (AXML, in short) provides a declarative framework for data and service integration over the Web. In this paper, we present a framework for generation of AXML Web services for materializing the dynamic content of Web pages in data intensive ...
Building a PDMS infrastructure for XML data sharing with SUNRISE
Semantic support for data representation as well as a flexible machine-readable format have made XML the de facto standard for Internet applications semantic interoperability. Its applicability is primarily evident in realities where actors are ...
Expressing OLAP operators with the TAX XML algebra
With the rise of XML as a standard for representing business data, XML data warehouses appear as suitable solutions for Web-based decision-support applications. In this context, it is necessary to allow OLAP analyses over XML data cubes (XOLAP). Thus, ...
