XISS/R: XML Indexing and Storage System Using RDBMS

Summary: XISS/R implements XML indexing and storage on a relational DB using the XISS extended preorder numbering to encode nesting, enabling structure-agnostic XML storage. Web UI and XPath Query Engine translate XPath queries into efficient SQL, enabling XML querying over the RDBMS. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
