Abstract

In the XML data context, documents may have a “similar” content but a different structure, thus a flexible approach to identify recurrent situations is needed. In this work we show how it is possible to compose structural and value association rules (simple rules) in order to describe complex association rules on XML documents. Moreover, we propose an approach to quantify support and confidence both for simple and complex rules in the XML data context.
