A method and apparatus are described for summarizing a document. For each node in the document that satisfies a marking criteria, a start and end mark pair is stored in a summary in document order. The start mark specifies a location in the document where the node starts, and the end mark specifies a location in the document where the node ends. When evaluating a query for a hierarchical path, the document is streamed into memory until the mark of a tag matches a start mark in the summary. If that tag does not fit within the path, then streaming of the document may resume at the end mark, thereby skipping the node during streaming evaluation. Translation information may be used to indicate a logical position relative to the marks in the summary when the document is modified.

Technique for skipping irrelevant portions of documents during streaming XPath evaluation

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with providing an XML-based translation service are described. One method embodiment includes accessing a translation-aware XML document that may comply with a translation-enabling XML schema. The document may store a first XML element that stores translatable data and a second XML element that stores a translation of the translatable data. The schema may describe that the first XML element includes a first identifier that identifies the first element as storing translatable data. The schema may also describe that the second XML element includes a second identifier that identifies the second element as storing a translation for translatable data. The method may also include establishing a session language identifier and providing a virtual view of the translation-aware XML document, the virtual view being determined, at least in part, by the session language identifier.

XML-based translation

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with providing query modes for translation-enabled XML documents are described. One method embodiment includes receiving an XPath query to an XML document that may store a translation for a data element. The method embodiment may also include automatically selecting a query mode for the XPath query. The method embodiment may also include querying the XML document using the XPath query and the selected query mode. The query mode may control, at least in part, the operation of an XML database logic.
