During the life cycle of an XML application, both schemas and queries may change from one version to another. Schema evolutions may affect query results and potentially the validity of produced data. Nowadays, a challenge is to assess and accommodate the impact of theses changes in rapidly evolving XML applications. This article proposes a logical framework and tool for verifying forward/backward compatibility issues involving schemas and queries. First, it allows analyzing relations between schemas. Second, it allows XML designers to identify queries that must be reformulated in order to produce the expected results across successive sche

XML database query languages such as XQuery employ regular expression types with structural subtyping. Subtyping systems typically have two presentations, which should be equivalent: a declarative version in which the subsumption rule may be used any
where, and an algorithmic version in which the use of subsumption is limited in order to make typechecking syntax-directed and decidable. However, the XQuery standard type system circumvents this issue by using imprecise typing rules for iteration constructs and defining only algorithmic typechecking, and another extant proposal provides more precise types for iteration constructs but ignores subtyping. In this paper, we consider a core XQuery-like language with a subsumption rule and prove the completeness of algorithmic typechecking; this is straightforward for XQuery proper but requires some care in the presence of more precise iteration typing disciplines. We extend this result to an XML update language we have introduced in earlier work.
This thesis describes the theoretical and practical foundations of a system for the static analysis of XML processing languages. The system relies on a fixpoint temporal logic with converse, derived from the mu-calculus, where models are finite trees
. This calculus is expressive enough to capture regular tree types along with multi-directional navigation in trees, while having a single exponential time complexity. Specifically the decidability of the logic is proved in time 2^O(n) where n is the size of the input formula. Major XML concepts are linearly translated into the logic: XPath navigation and node selection semantics, and regular tree languages (which include DTDs and XML Schemas). Based on these embeddings, several problems of major importance in XML applications are reduced to satisfiability of the logic. These problems include XPath containment, emptiness, equivalence, overlap, coverage, in the presence or absence of regular tree type constraints, and the static type-checking of an annotated query. The focus is then given to a sound and complete algorithm for deciding the logic, along with a detailed complexity analysis, and crucial implementation techniques for building an effective solver. Practical experiments using a full implementation of the system are presented. The system appears to be efficient in practice for several realistic scenarios. The main application of this work is a new class of static analyzers for programming languages using both XPath expressions and XML type annotations (input and output). Such analyzers allow to ensure at compile-time valuable properties such as type-safety and optimizations, for safer and more efficient XML processing.
This document describes how to use the XML static analyzer in practice. It provides informal documentation for using the XML reasoning solver implementation. The solver allows automated verification of properties that are expressed as logical formula
s over trees. A logical formula may for instance express structural constraints or navigation properties (like e.g. path existence and node selection) in finite trees. Logical formulas can be expressed using the syntax of XPath expressions, DTD, XML Schemas, and Relax NG definitions.
Graph-based data models allow for flexible data representation. In particular, semantic data based on RDF and OWL fuels use cases ranging from general knowledge graphs to domain specific knowledge in various technological or scientific domains. The f
lexibility of such approaches, however, makes programming with semantic data tedious and error-prone. In particular the logics-based data descriptions employed by OWL are problematic for existing error-detecting techniques, such as type systems. In this paper, we present DOTSpa, an advanced integration of semantic data into programming. We embed description logics, the logical foundations of OWL, into the type checking process of a statically typed programming language and provide typed data access through an embedding of the query language SPARQL. In addition, we demonstrate a concrete implementation of the approach, by extending the Scala programming language. We qualitatively compare programs using our approach to equivalent programs using a state-of-the-art library, in terms of how both frameworks aid users in the handling of typical failure scenarios.
XML database query languages have been studied extensively, but XML database updates have received relatively little attention, and pose many challenges to language design. We are developing an XML update language called Flux, which stands for Functi
onaL Updates for XML, drawing upon ideas from functional programming languages. In prior work, we have introduced a core language for Flux with a clear operational semantics and a sound, decidable static type system based on regular expression types. Our initial proposal had several limitations. First, it lacked support for recursive types or update procedures. Second, although a high-level source language can easily be translated to the core language, it is difficult to propagate meaningful type errors from the core language back to the source. Third, certain updates are well-formed yet contain path errors, or ``dead subexpressions which never do any useful work. It would be useful to detect path errors, since they often represent errors or optimization opportunities. In this paper, we address all three limitations. Specifically, we present an improved, sound type system that handles recursion. We also formalize a source update language and give a translation to the core language that preserves and reflects typability. We also develop a path-error analysis (a form of dead-code analysis) for updates.
