Extraction and Implication of Path Constraints

Abstract

We consider semistructured data as rooted edge-labeled directed graphs, and path inclusion constraints on these graphs. In this paper, we give a new decision algorithm for the implication problem of a constraint $p \preceq q$ by a set of constraints $p_i \preceq u_i$ where $p$, $q$, and the $p_i$'s are regular path expressions and the $u_i$'s are non-empty paths, improving in this particular case, the more general algorithms of S. Abiteboul and V. Vianu, and Alechina et al. Moreover, in the case of a set of word equalities $u_i \equiv v_i$, we give a more efficient decision algorithm for the implication of a word equality $u \equiv v$, improving the more general algorithm of P. Buneman et al., and we prove that, in this case, the implication problem for non-deterministic models or for (complete) deterministic models are equivalent.
