Abstract
RSS feeds are text-content rich, semantically heterogeneous, dynamic XML element and streamed in an asynchronous and pull strategy. Hence, for efficient retrieval of RSS feed, window-based and semantic-aware feeds querying operators has been proposed recently. It is shown that the use of semantic information improves the relevance of query result at the cost of degrading the efficiency of the system. To benefit from query execution on semantic information while keeping the efficiency of the system, we have proposed multi-query optimization strategy and semantic load shedding technique. The proposed MQO strategy accepts multiple semantic news feed queries and examines the relationship that exist between each queries with respect to their defined window and their semantic similarity. Then, a MQE chain is generated based on the relationship examined for the efficient manipulation of queries at run time. And each time a new query arrives, it is added to its appropriate chain. On the other hand, the proposed semantic load shedding technique drops non-relevant data elements from a shared window and generates a new window with optimal size. The approach first extracts a set of representative keys from multiple query‘s search term and then the keys are enhanced semantically with concepts retrieved from knowledge base. Then before Multi-Query execution, using the enhanced key set, the news items in the shared window are classified into relevant and non-relevant classes based on their key content. Those elements in the relevant class is directly chosen to be a member of the new window and among the elements in the non-relevant class a representative sample is selected at random with a controlled sampling precision level to be included into the new window. The resulting new window contains reduced data elements and yet satisfies the need of all queries in the given MQE chain. The approach is implemented as an operator called quickDrop operator. The operator quickDrop (W, T, K, e) takes four parameters; W denotes a shared window among a set of queries for Multi-Query execution, T denotes the attribute of the news feed for shedding i.e. title or description, K denotes a set of enhanced keys and e denotes the level of precision to be used for sampling and it returns a window with optimal number of elements. Coordinated with the MQO approach, the proposed semantic load shedding technique performs efficiently for the performance increase of the system. To validate the proposed approach, we have developed a prototype and experimental results show a significant performance increase.
