Title
XML data manipulation in conventional and temporal XML databases: A survey
Abstract
After more than two decades of its use, XML is not only a standard format for exchanging data between different (Web) applications but also a model for a family of some emerging or NoSQL databases, called XML databases. In addition to its efficiency in the management of conventional data (i.e., data without a temporal reference), XML is also an excellent support for storing, manipulating, and querying temporal data, due its hierarchical structure. Besides, although several survey papers have dealt with multiple aspects concerning XML data, like XML data modeling, storage, indexing, and querying, there is no survey on the XML data manipulation (i.e., XML data insertion, deletion and modification) topic that continues interesting researchers of the database community, both in conventional and temporal XML databases. For that reason, we think that it is interesting to have a paper that reviews and compares research contributions dealing with this topic. So, our present paper (i) provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of XML data manipulation, in conventional and temporal XML databases, (ii) studies the support of such functionality in mainstream commercial DBMSs and (iii) gives some remarks on possible future research directions related to this issue.
