Axiomatising Functional Dependencies for XML with Frequencies

  • Conference paper
Foundations of Information and Knowledge Systems (FoIKS 2006)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 3861))

Abstract

We provide a finite axiomatisation for a class of functional dependencies for XML data that are defined in the context of a simple XML tree model reflecting the permitted parent-child relationships together with their frequencies.
