Literature Review Title: A Survey of XML Tree Patterns 
Chapter Title:  Matching power 
1. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB001):  XQuery is the de facto standard XML query language, and it is important to have efficient query evaluation techniques available for it. A core operation in the evaluation of XQuery is the finding of matches for specified tree patterns, and there has been much work towards algorithms for finding such matches efficiently. Multiple XPath expressions can be evaluated by computing one or more tree pattern matches. ::: ::: However, relatively little has been done on efficient evaluation of XQuery queries as a whole. In this paper, we argue that there is much more to XQuery evaluation than a tree pattern match. We propose a structure called generalized tree pattern (GTP) for concise representation of a whole XQuery expression. Evaluating the query reduces to finding matches for its GTP. Using this idea we develop efficient evaluation plans for XQuery expressions, possibly involving join, quantifiers, grouping, aggregation, and nesting. ::: ::: XML data often conforms to a schema. We show that using relevant constraints from the schema, one can optimize queries significantly, and give algorithms for automatically inferring GTP simplifications given a schema. Finally, we show, through a detailed set of experiments using the TIMBER XML database system, that plans via GTPs (with or without schema knowledge) significantly outperform plans based on navigation and straightforward plans obtained directly from the query. 
2. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB002):  XML is widely praised for its flexibility in allowing repeated and missing sub-elements. However, this flexibility makes it challenging to develop a bulk algebra, which typically manipulates sets of objects with identical structure. A set of XML elements, say of type book, may have members that vary greatly in structure, e.g. in the number of author sub-elements. This kind of heterogeneity may permeate the entire document in a recursive fashion: e.g., different authors of the same or different book may in turn greatly vary in structure. Even when the document conforms to a schema, the flexible nature of schemas for XML still allows such significant variations in structure among elements in a collection. Bulk processing of such heterogeneous sets is problematic.In this paper, we introduce the notion of logical classes (LC) of pattern tree nodes, and generalize the notion of pattern tree matching to handle node logical classes. This abstraction pays off significantly in allowing us to reason with an inherently heterogeneous collection of elements in a uniform, homogeneous way. Based on this, we define a Tree Logical Class (TLC) algebra that is capable of handling the heterogeneity arising in XML query processing, while avoiding redundant work. We present an algorithm to obtain a TLC algebra expression from an XQuery statement (for a large fragment of XQuery). We show how to implement the TLC algebra efficiently, introducing the nest-join as an important physical operator for XML query processing. We show that evaluation plans generated using the TLC algebra not only are simpler but also perform better than those generated by competing approaches. TLC is the algebra used in the T imber [8] system developed at the University of Michigan. 
3. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB003):  XPath and XQuery (which includes XPath as a sublanguage) are the major query languages for XML. An important issue arising in efficient evaluation of queries expressed in these languages is satisfiability, i.e., whether there exists a database, consistent with the schema if one is available, on which the query has a non-empty answer. Our experience shows satisfiability check can effect substantial savings in query evaluation. ::: ::: We systematically study satisfiability of tree pattern queries (which capture a useful fragment of XPath) together with additional constraints, with or without a schema. We identify cases in which this problem can be solved in polynomial time and develop novel efficient algorithms for this purpose. We also show that in several cases, the problem is NP-complete. We ran a comprehensive set of experiments to verify the utility of satisfiability check as a preprocessing step in query processing. Our results show that this check takes a negligible fraction of the time needed for processing the query while often yielding substantial savings. 
4. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB004):  Existing approaches for querying XML (e.g., XPath and twig patterns) assume that the data form a tree. Often, however, XML documents have a graph structure, due to ID references. The common way of adapting known techniques to XML graphs is straightforward, but may result in a huge number of results, where only a small portion of them has valuable information. We propose two mechanisms. Filtering is used for eliminating semantically weak answers. Ranking is used for presenting the remaining answers in the order of decreasing semantic significance. We show how to integrate these features in a language for querying XML graphs. Query evaluation is tractable in the following sense. For a wide range of ranking functions, it is possible to generate answers in ranked order with polynomial delay, under query-and-data complexity. This result holds even if projection is used. Furthermore, it holds for any tractable ranking function for which the top-ranked answer can be found efficiently (assuming that equalities and inequalities involving IDs of XML nodes are permitted in queries). 
5. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB005):  As business and enterprises generate and exchange XML data more often, there is an increasing need for efficient processing of queries on XML data. Searching for the occurrences of a tree pattern query in an XML database is a core operation in XML query processing. Prior works demonstrate that holistic twig pattern matching algorithm is an efficient technique to answer an XML tree pattern with parent-child (P-C) and ancestor-descendant (A-D) relationships, as it can effectively control the size of intermediate results during query processing. However, XML query languages (e.g., XPath and XQuery) define more axes and functions such as negation function, order-based axis, and wildcards. In this paper, we research a large set of XML tree pattern, called extended XML tree pattern, which may include P-C, A-D relationships, negation functions, wildcards, and order restriction. We establish a theoretical framework about “matching cross” which demonstrates the intrinsic reason in the proof of optimality on holistic algorithms. Based on our theorems, we propose a set of novel algorithms to efficiently process three categories of extended XML tree patterns. A set of experimental results on both real-life and synthetic data sets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed theories and algorithms.

Literature Review:
The most basic TP is TAX's BIB001 . Thus, matching a TAX TP against a data tree collection is very simple: it is only based on tree structure and node values specified in formula F . If F is absent, a TAX TP matches all possible subtrees from the input data tree. Associating a mandatory/optional status to GTP edges BIB002 increases the number of matched subtrees in output. Only one absent edge in a TAX TP with respect to a subtree containing all the other edges in this TP prevents matching, while the candidate subtree is "almost perfect". If this edge is labeled as optional in a GTP, matching becomes successful. Even more flexibility is achieved by logical operator nodes  , which allow powerful matching options, especially when logical operators are combined. With APTs, matching precision is further improved through edge annotations BIB003 . Annotations in APTs force the matching process to extract data according to their nature. For example, a classical TAX TP such as the one from Figure 2 (b), extracting books by titles and authors, does not allow controlling the number of authors. APTs help select only books with, e.g., more than one author, as in the example from Figure 4 . Unfortunately, annotations only allow two maximum cardinalities: one or several. DBTwigs BIB005 complement APTs in this respect, by allowing to choose the exact number of nodes to be matched. Node degree (number of children)  or the negation function of extended TPs BIB006 can also be exploited for this sake. Finally, up to now, we focused on TP structure because few differences exist in formulas. Graphically, twig patterns associate constraints with nodes directly in the schema BIB005 while in the TAX TP and its derivatives, they appear in formula F , but this is purely cosmetic. Only TCs, VBCs and NICs help further structure formula F BIB004 .
