SEDA: A System for Search, Exploration, Discovery, and Analysis of XML Data

Keyword search in XML repositories is a powerful tool for interactive data exploration. Much work has recently been done on making XML search aware of relationship information embedded in XML document structure, but without a clear winner in all data and query scenarios. Furthermore, due to its imprecise nature, search results cannot easily be analyzed and summarized to gain more insights into the data. The authors address these shortcomings with SEDA: a system for Search, Exploration, Discovery, and Analysis of XML data.
