The present disclosure includes techniques pertaining to computer implemented systems and methods for processing semi-structured data. In one embodiment, semi-structured data in a data source is analyzed and structural information about the data is generated. The semi-structured documents may comprise a plurality of fields having associated values. Documents may be analyzed to determine particular fields in the plurality of semi-structured documents. Statistics may be generated to determine, for example, a frequency that each particular field appears in the plurality of semi-structured documents. Particular fields and associated frequencies and other statistics may be stored in a memory, for example.

Computer implemented systems and methods for processing semi-structured documents

The present disclosure includes techniques pertaining to computer implemented systems and methods for processing semi-structured data. In one embodiment, semi-structured data in a data source is analyzed and structural information about the data is generated. Structural information may be accessed and used to generate a visual representation of the document structures. User selections may be received of particular fields to be included in an output data set. Data for selected fields may be stored in the output data set as a two-dimensional data structure.

A computer readable storage medium includes a data analyzer to build population sets for dimensions of a multi-dimensional data source and to identify intersections of population sets so as to form density metadata. A query processor accesses the density metadata while processing a query.
