Similarity Algorithm Based on Weighted Hierarchical Structure of XML Document

摘要

A similarity algorithm based on weighted hierarchical structure of XML document is brought forward. The algorithm can calculate the similarity among XML documents efficiently according to hierarchical structure. It can be powerful enough to distinguish the similar structural documents. Experimental results prove that the algorithm reduces the complexity and has fairly high performance. The approach presented in this paper can be used in many applications, such as clustering, structural extracting and change checking of XML documents, etc.
