ViST: A Dynamic Index Method for Querying XML Data by Tree Structures

Summary: ViST introduces a dynamic, tree-structure-based index for XML query processing. By representing both documents and queries as structure-encoded sequences, XML search reduces to subsequence matching, enabling a unified content-and-structure index with dynamic B+ tree updates and no expensive joins.
