Query Caching and View Selection for XML Databases

Summary: Proposes a cache of materialized XPath views for XML DBs, storing queried and selected views inside or outside the DB. Introduces XPath answerability to map tree matching to string ops, enabling fast relational lookups and a warm-up-driven view-selection technique with empirical gains.
