Structural and semantic similarity for XML comparison

Abstract

XML has experimented a rapid growth mostly because of its application on the Web. Application varies from version control management, data storage to clustering and information retrieval. In this context, it is necessary to develop efficient techniques for comparing XML documents. Many method proposed are based only on structural commonalities, ignoring semantics. In this paper, we propose a new method for comparing XML documents based on LevelEdge combining tag structural and semantic similarities. © 2013 Authors.
