US-Turkey Cooperative Research: Query Languages for XML with Multimedia Presentations

9912229 Ozsoyoglu描述：该项目支持俄亥俄州凯斯西储大学（CWRU）电气工程和计算机科学研究系的Gultekin Ozsoyoglu教授和土耳其安卡拉Bilkent大学计算机工程和信息科学系的Ozgur Ulusoy博士的合作项目。 他们计划研究XML的查询语言，XML是万维网联盟提出的标准网络标记语言。 该研究有两个目标：研究如何将XML文档存储到数据库中，并查询这样的数据库，并扩展XML与多媒体表示，并研究XML嵌入式多媒体表示的存储，交付和查询。 XML规范还没有将基于内容的多媒体数据建模纳入XML文档。 此外，目前的半结构化数据操作语言和数据模型还没有处理多媒体，更不用说在Web中的XML文档的演示和同步问题。 这项研究将基于内容的多媒体数据建模，以及在XML的多媒体演示文稿，修改/合并/合并XML语言的建议和多媒体数据/演示语言，并调查由此产生的新定义的语言的查询处理问题。范围：该主题被广泛认为是下一代全球信息系统的关键问题领域。 XML显然正在成为互联网上提供数据（出版物以及其他数据）的标准。 我们正处于XML完整规范的早期阶段，也处于数据库支持XML数据的初期阶段。 CWRU集团拥有多媒体数据库的经验。Bilkent的团队在分布式和实时系统方面拥有丰富的专业知识。 该项目的文献和其他资源很容易从网上获得;因此，土耳其从事该项目的学生将不需要专门的设施。 除了与土耳其的一位同事合作外，还将在CWRU设施对一名土耳其研究生进行培训。 该项目符合国际方案司（INT）支持互利研究的使命。

9912229Ozsoyoglu Description: This project supports a cooperative project by the Professor Gultekin Ozsoyoglu, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science research at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), Cleveland, Ohio and Dr. Ozgur Ulusoy, Department of Computer Engineering and Information Science, Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey. They plan to investigate query languages for XML, the Extensible Markup Language which is proposed as a standard web Markup language by the World Wide Web Consortium. The research has two goals: to study ways of storing XML documents into databases, and querying such databases; and to extend XML with multimedia presentations, and investigate XML-embedded multimedia presentation storage, delivery, and querying. XML specifications do not yet incorporate content-based multimedia data modeling within XML documents. In addition, present semistructured data manipulation languages and data models do not yet deal with multimedia, much less with presentations and synchronization issues in XML documents in the web. This research will model content-based multimedia data as well as multimedia presentations within XML, revise/merge/consolidate XML language proposals and multimedia data/presentation languages, and investigate the query processing issues of the resulting newly defined languages. Scope: The topic is widely recognized as a critical problem area for the next generation of global information systems. XML is clearly emerging as the standard according to which data (publications as well as other data) will be made available on the Internet. We are in the early stages of the full specification of XML and in the infancy of database support for XML data. The CWRU group has experience with multimedia databases. The group at Bilkent has complimentary expertise in distributed and real-time systems. Literature and other resources for the project are easily obtained from the Web; thus students in Turkey working on this project will not need specialized facilities. In addition to the collaboration with a colleague in Turkey, there will be training of a Turkish graduate student at the CWRU facilities. This project fits the mission of the Division of International Programs (INT) for support of mutually beneficial research.
