Abstract
The invention relates to detecting non-presence of nodes in a document of semi-structured data and to creating a values index which properly reflects this non-presence. The document of semi-structured data, comprising multiple hierarchically organized nodes, is scanned for values (step). Subsequently, these values are indexed (step). As non-presence of at least one node is detected (step), this non-presence is documented by enhancing the values index () by a pseudo key () (step).
