Paper Abstract:
|
XLink are XML elements used for describing relationships and semantic information contained in valid XML documents. Thus, the structure of XLink can be navigated and their components (arcs, locators, resources and title) can be retrieved through a path language, like XPath. However, it was not specified to retrieve information from specific elements of Xlink, which can contain semantic information. This paper proposes XLPath, a path language turned to navigation on XLink, which allows performing queries on the elements that compose the links between XML documents. Aiming to demonstrate the use of XLPath, a processor prototype for this language was developed, which was evaluated in a case study based on XBRL documents, since XBRL is a technology that makes extensive use of XLink. |
