Project Abstract

As XML becomes the standard for electronic data interchange, it is necessary to design benchmarks to provide for the comparative performance analysis of XML management systems (XMLMS). The XOO7 benchmark is an XML version of the OO7 benchmark enriched with relational, document and navigational queries that are specific and critical for XML databases. The XOO7 benchmark meets the four criteria: relevance, portability, scalability and simplicity.

XOO7 Data Set: The XOO7 data set contains both data-centric and document-centric XML data. The data structure is easy to understand. Data sets with various sizes are provided. To look at the XOO7 data set in detail, please read the IIWAS paper.
XOO7 Queries: The XOO7 queries are designed to capture data-centric, document-centric and mixed characteristics of XML data. Click here to view the queries or read the technical report and the ECWEB paper for a detailed description.

The XOO7 benchmark has been implemented and used to test 4 XMLMS: LORE, XENA, Kweelt, and DOM-XPath (We have not used the actual name of the product at the request of the developers). The first two systems are XML-Enabled management systems while the last two systems are Native-XML management systems. Please refer to the two papers: ICJournal and ECWEB for the experiment results and the analysis.
