Résumé:
A Community Web system is a set of tools for a community
of people who want to share information on a certain domain via the
Web. The backbone of this system is a common ontology which is
understood by all members of the community and used as the common
interface component for integrating, querying, structuring and
exchanging information. This paper describes a simple but
nevertheless powerful language for integrating XML documents into a
Community Web. More precisely, we describe how to add and exploit
XPath enabled Web servers by mapping standard XPath location paths
to conceptual paths in the system ontology. We present a query rewriting
algorithm using such mappings. It transforms a user query into a set
of XML queries based
on XPath patterns for selecting XML fragments. Finally, we describe
some optimization techniques for reducing the size of XML data
returned by the XML source for query evaluation.
