Compression vs Queryability - A Case Study

Abstract

Some compromise on compression is known to be necessary, if the relative
positions of the information stored by semi-structured documents
are to remain accessible under queries. With this in view, we compare,
on an example, the ‘query-friendliness’ of XML documents, when
compressed into straightline tree grammars which are either regular or
context-free. The queries considered are in a limited fragment of XPath,
corresponding to a type of patterns; each such query defines naturally a
non-deterministic, bottom-up ‘query automaton’ that runs just as well on
a tree as on its compressed dag.
