Efficient Processing of XML Path Queries Using the Disk-based F&B Index

Summary: Disk-based F&B index for XML path queries, optimizing disk layout to preserve clustering and scale. Novel query-processing algorithms exploit the physical index organization to accelerate twig queries on large XML datasets, outperforming state-of-the-art approaches.
