Covering Indexes for XML Queries: Bisimulation - Simulation = Negation
Summary: Covering indexes for XML queries via bisimulation and simulation. CXPath+ eval by simulating the query-tree on the document graph; the simulation quotient is the minimal index for BPQ+, and ignoring idrefs yields the TPQ index; sim ≤ bisimulation, often exponentially smaller, with negation-free cases shrinking further.
