Standard Change Tracking for XML

Author(s):  
Robin La Fontaine

XML is generally accepted as the default markup language for structured document and data management systems worldwide. But, in spite of the fact that XML document standards have matured over the past decade and despite its widespread use, XML still has a significant shortcoming that limits its usefulness in this role. It has no native ability to track changes. There is rudimentary support for change tracking in some document formats, but a full solution is not available. The consensus emerging is that this is an XML problem rather than a DITA, DocBook or XHTML problem. A generic change-tracking standard would transform the utility of XML. It would allow documents to be moved from one XML editor to another, complete with change history and the ability to roll back to previous versions; it would allow editing applications to track changes in any XML document type; and software designed to handle change in XML could be applied to many different XML document types. The W3C now has a Community Group (W3C Change Community Group http://www.w3.org/community/change/) looking into developing a standard solution. This paper outlines one proposed solution to this important problem. The purpose of the proposed change tracking format is to represent successive changes or edits to an XML document, typically in one or more editing sessions. This paper describes how such changes may be represented in XML markup or in Processing Instructions. The tracked changes are designed to be used either as an independent addition to a file or integrated into the applicable schema.

In the past decades many R&D efforts have been spent in the development of a suitable Li4SiO4 fabrication method (e.g., melt spray process, graphite bed method, capillary-based microfluidic wet method etc.), nevertheless we are still far from an “industrial standard solution”. The aim of the paper is to develop a new fabrication method capable to produce stable and well-sized pebbles of lithium orthosilicate (Li4SiO4) based on the drip casting. This method is mainly based on the dripping at room temperature, which is novel in the framework of available fabrication processes requiring high temperature: this latter is demonstrated to affect the final product characteristics. It is worthy to remark that the Li4SiO4 is a candidate material for the breeding blanket material of the fusion power reactor. In the paper we will describe the experimental apparatus, designed and built at DICI - University of Pisa with the collaboration of Bitossi Industries, and the procedure adopted in order to produce pebbles of Li4SiO4.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is emerging as the primary standard for representing and exchanging data, with more than 60% of the total; XML considered the most dominant document type over the web; nevertheless, their quality is not as expected. XML integrity constraint especially XFD plays an important role in keeping the XML dataset as consistent as possible, but their ability to solve data quality issues is still intangible. The main reason is that old-fashioned data dependencies were basically introduced to maintain the consistency of the schema rather than that of the data. The purpose of this study is to introduce a method for discovering pattern tableaus for XML conditional dependencies to be used for enhancing XML document consistency as a part of data quality improvement phases. The notations of the conditional dependencies as new rules are designed mainly for improving data instance and extended traditional XML dependencies by enforcing pattern tableaus of semantically related constants. Subsequent to this, a set of minimal approximate conditional dependencies (XCFD, XCIND) is discovered and learned from the XML tree using a set of mining algorithms. The discovered patterns can be used as a Master data in order to detect inconsistencies that don’t respect the majority of the dataset.

Designing a well-structured XML document is important for the sake of readability, maintainability and more importantly to avoid both data redundancies and update anomalies. This paper proposes to improve and simplify XML structural design using a normalization process. To achieve this, Graphical Notation for Document Type Definition (GN-DTD) is used to describe the structure of XML document at the schema level. Multiple levels of normal forms for GN-DTD are proposed and the corresponding normalization rules to transform from poorly designed into well-designed XML documents. A case study is presented to show the application of these normal forms and normalization algorithm.


Significance It dropped to 332.2, a decline of 5.7% since March 10, when the forint reached its strongest level against the euro this year. While the forint has fallen steadily against the single currency over the past several years -- it has lost 18% since November 2012, with half the decline occurring since mid-2017 -- it has come under more strain since March, owing to a combination of fallout from the US-China trade war and the persistently dovish policy stance of Hungary’s Central Bank (MNB). Impacts Markets have become increasingly pessimistic about the growth prospects for the euro-area. A technical recession is increasingly probable in Germany, where the benchmark ten-year government bond yield is at a near-record low. Central Europe’s economies are decoupling from the industrial slowdown in the largest EU economy, although divergences are narrowing. Renewed hopes of a US-Chinese trade truce, including a possible roll-back of existing tariffs, are improving sentiment towards EM.


Significance The Syrian Kurds have made significant advances against ISG along Syria's northern border with Turkey in the past year thanks to US air support. Their militias are now a vital partner in US-led efforts to roll back ISG in Syria; however, they are also looking to Russia for support after its entry into the Syrian theatre in September. Impacts Russia, Iran and the Assad regime may seek a deal with the Kurds that allows them to retain autonomy under any future government. US support for the Syrian Kurds will strain rather than rupture Washington's ties with Ankara. Ankara is likely to avoid military intervention against the Syrian Kurds so long as they avoid declaring independence. The risk of ethnic clashes and cleansing between Kurds and Arabs in areas liberated from ISG is high.

Reflecting the historical evolution of attack preparedness, technological failures, and so-called natural disaster events, the profession of emergency management confronts new challenges today. In part, these reflect important cultural differences among stakeholder groups, especially local emergency managers, homeland security personnel, and those focused on public health threats and business continuity. An expanded and more strategic vision of the profession is required wherein fundamental assumption sets are placed into broader contexts. Contrary to the drift experienced in the US during the past decade, a major paradigm shift is required reflecting new orientations and program priorities.

Purpose – This paper aims to focus on automatic selection of two important structural concepts required in an XML query, namely, target and constraint concepts, when given a keywords query. Due to the diversities of concepts used in XML resources, it is not easy to select a correct concept when constructing an XML query. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, a Context-based Term Weighting model that performs term weighting based on part of documents. Each part represents a specific context, thus offering better capturing of concept and term relationship. For query time analysis, a Query Context Graph and two algorithms, namely, Select Target and Constraint (QC) and Select Target and Constraint (QCAS) are proposed to find the concepts for constructing XML query. Findings – Evaluations were performed using structured document for conference domain. For constraint concept selection, the approach CTX+TW achieved better result than its baseline, NCTX, when search term has ambiguous meanings by using context-based scoring for the concepts. CTX+TW also shows its stability on various scoring models like BM25, TFIEF and LM. For target concept selection, CTX+TW outperforms the standard baseline, SLCA, whereas it also records higher coverage than FCA, when structural keywords are used in query. Originality/value – The idea behind this approach is to capture the concepts required for term interpretation based on parts of the collections rather than the entire collection. This allows better selection of concepts, especially when a structured XML document consists many different types of information.

Electrodeposited Cr plating has been used for steel surface hardening since 1930. It is well known that there are particles precipitated during annealing the plate. However, no direct evidence has been shown to identify the species of the particles. Despite several microstructural characterizations having been carried out about thirty years ago it is surprised that no research has been done yet for the past decade to take the advantage of the powerful strength of modern electron microscopy. The present work reports the identification of the particles on the basis of AEM study.Cr plates were deposited on plain carbon steels by conventional method using a standard solution containing CrO3 250 g/l and H2SO4 2.5 g/l at a current density 40 A/dm2 and 45°C. The plates of 0.1mm thickness were then stripped off from steel substrate by dilute HNO3 before annealing was carried out in vacuum at 600,700, and 800°C for 1 to 6 hours.
