Objective
There are many methods of mapping
XML data to a relational schema, each offering different query performance for
a given XML-driven query workload. In this part, mechanisms that flexibly support
and optimize such XML-to-relational mapping strategies will be studied, their
effect on the performance of other parts of the Rainbow system, such as query
processing, view maintenance, and update propagation will be considered.
