On Verifying Consistency of XML Specifications
Summary: Analyzes decidability/complexity of consistency checking for XML specs (DTDs plus integrity constraints), concluding that presence of foreign keys usually makes compile-time verification infeasible. Extends decidability to multi-attribute keys with unary FKs and to constraints with regular expressions (providing upper/lower bounds), proves undecidability for relative constraints even when unary, and isolates several restricted decidable fragments.
