This PhD dissertation defense from Florida State University discusses the problem statements of current keyword search approaches and introduces a hybrid search mechanism combining semantic metadata and keyword search. The dissertation explores the challenges and benefits of this approach and presents a scalable architecture for hybrid search on distributed databases.

Hybrid Keyword Search across Peer-to-Peer Federated Data PhD Dissertation Defense Florida State University Jungkee (Jake) Kim
Motivation Where is the Information? Internet
Outline • Two Typical Search Paradigms • Problem Statements of Current Approaches • Hybrid Keyword Search • Hybrid Search on Distributed Databases • Hybrid Search across Peer-to-Peer Federated Databases
Searching over structured data Relational Databases Searching over unstructured data Information Retrieval Two Typical Search Paradigms Internet Environment • Semistructured Data – XML • Keyword Search in DB • Web Search Engines – Technologies from Information Retrieval Hybrid Keyword Search ?
Current Approaches – Keyword-only Search • Web Search Engines • Web crawlers visit Web pages and collect the keyword based text indexes. • Fast information retrieval • Keyword Search in databases • Web integration on legacy DBMS • Dynamic Web publication through embedded DB • Easy to use without knowledge of DB schema
Problems of Current Approaches – Keyword-based • Web Search Engines • Can not collect every connected resource • Query results are often unrelated • Keyword Search in Databases • Losing the inherent meaning of the schema • Query results are not based on semantic schema
Current Approaches – Semantic • Semantic Web • Multiple relation links with directed labeled graphs and machines can understand the relationship between different resources • Describes metadata about resources • To represent the relations of the objects on the Web; the object terms defined under a specific description – an Ontology
Problems of Current Approaches – Semantic Web • Ontology design is sophisticated • Lack of unified definition * • Limited adoption
Our Approach • Hybrid search mechanisms – Semantic metadata + Keyword search • Semantic Solution Semantic Web might be better than Hybrid search Hybrid search must be better than Web search engines • Simplicity Hybrid search is simpler than Semantic Web
Hybrid Keyword Search Service • A search service fetches target information data against a search query. • Unstructured data A file containing data – MS Word, PDF, PS documents • Metadata: Structured or semistructured data – XML • We utilized an XML-enabled relational DBMS and a native XML DB along with a text search library (Apache Xindice + Jakarta Lucene) to address the search against metadata and text.
How to Combine? (1) • Two entities and a relationship in relational DBMS • We can obtain the hybrid search result using a nested subquery
How to Combine? (2) • A hash table is used for joining search results in non-DBMS based system (Apache Xindice + Lucene)
Local Query Processing – XML (1) Average XML Query Time • XML-enabled RDB • DBLP XML record (1,000 – 10,000) • Non indexed matches except year match bound by the number of matches. • Combined query time depends on # of year query results
Apache Xindice DBLP XML record (1,000 – 10,000) Indexed approximate matches for text elements in XML instances as bad as non-indexed queries Exact matches bound by the number of matches. Local Query Processing – XML (2) Average XML Query Time
Local Query Processing – Hybrid (1) • Hybrid search query performance measurement • XML-enabled RDB • For 100,000 XML instances and 100,000 text documents • Small result set: 4 XML and a keyword matches • Large result set: 7,752 XML and 41,889 documents
Local Query Processing – Hybrid (2) • Hybrid search query performance measurement • Apache Xindice + Jakarta Lucene • For 10,000 XML instances and 10,000 text documents • Small result set: 2 XML and a keyword matches • Large result set: 192 XML and 4,562 documents
Discussion – Local Hybrid Search • XML-enabled RDB provides proper response except some extreme query loads. • A native XML DB (Apache Xindice) had very limited scalability. (No accurate query result over 16,000 XML instances) • We will generalize hybrid search to a distributed environment.
Hybrid Search on Distributed Databases • Data Independence: logically and physically independent; the same schema – no change, data encapsulation in each machine • Network Transparency: depends on MOM or P2P framework • No replication – restricted to a computer cluster • Fragment: full partition; horizontal fragmentation • The query result for the distributed databases is the collection of query results from individual database queries.

Cooperating Broker Network • Distributed Databases based on NaradaBrokering Network
Query Processing – DDBS (1) • 100,000 XML and 100,000 Documents in 8 machines – 12,500 each • Few keyword match (1-3) on 1 machine only • RDB – 0.04 Sec. for few keyword match Avg. response time for an author exact match query over 8 search services
Query Processing – DDBS (2) • 100,000 XML and 100,000 Documents in 8 machines – 12,500 each • RDB – half hour or 6.96 Sec. (Hash table) Avg. response time for a year match query over 8 search services
Data Integration Hub • Partial integration – possible method to increase the data portion queried c.f. Supernode in P2P • We designed a partial integration architecture through a message-oriented middleware – the NaradaBrokering system • NaradaBrokering system • JMS compliant topic-based communication • Scalability by brokers hierarchical connection • Passive queries / Static binding • We attached a RDBMS to store the metadata and index the contents of the data
Coupling vs. Scalability • From ICDE 2002 Tutorial

Conclusion • We addressed the semantic loss of keyword-only search while remaining a simpler solution than the Semantic Web • Low cost scalability over heterogeneous resource through customized overlay networks • A practical bridging role on the road towards the ideal of information represented by Semantic Web?
Contributions • Demonstration of a hybrid search – combining metadata search with a keyword search over unstructured context data • A way to increase locality and integrate several dispersed resources through a data integration hub • Extension of the scalability of a native XML database and performance improvement for some queries compared to those on a single machine • Generalization of our hybrid search architecture on potentially more scalable P2P overlay network
