Estimating the Selectivity of XML Path Expressions for Internet Scale Applications

Summary: Two memory-light estimators for XML path selectivity in Internet-scale data: path trees, Markov tables. Compact XML data summaries estimate path selectivity; experiments show accuracy and guidance on technique choice, outperforming prior best. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
