Semistructured Data

Summary: Treats self-describing, schema-light Web and integration sources as semistructured, proposing concise graph models for irregular labeled data. Develops expressive query/transformation languages and optimization techniques for schema-optional querying and browsing. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
