XML-Based Data Management and Multimedia Engineering - EDBT 2002 Workshops

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-proceedings of three workshops held as part of the 8th International Conference on Extending Database Technology, EDBT 2002, in Prague, Czech Republic, in March 2002. The 43 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from approximately 130 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on XML and metadata, extraction of structure information and transformation of XML documents, querying of XML, XML database systems and performance evaluation, video retrieval, multimedia retrieval, intelligent documents, Web documents, system architectures, query processing, Internet and databases, adaptable databases, and large databases.
