FIX: Feature-based Indexing Technique for XML Documents

Summary: FIX: a feature-based index for XML twig queries using spectral graph theory; each twig pattern is a feature vector stored in a B+-tree. Query processing uses the vector for lookup and refinement; FIX delivers strong pruning and often speedups, unifying values and tree structure. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
