X2H

X2H transforms XML-based biological datasets into scalable HBase representations and maps XML query models to MapReduce to enable efficient large-scale storage and querying of structured biological data.

Key Features:

• Efficient Data Storage: Constructs HBase tables from XML-based biological data collections to leverage HBase scalability and performance for large datasets.
• Advanced Query Capabilities: Provides a formal transformation of the XML query model into the MapReduce query model to improve query performance over traditional declarative XML query languages.
• Performance Evaluation: Demonstrates substantial performance advantages through evaluation of query performance on existing XML-based biological databases.

Scientific Applications:

• Large-scale XML biological data management: Supports scalable storage and access for bioinformatics resources encoded in XML.
• Scalable query execution on XML databases: Enables efficient execution and benchmarking of queries on structured biological datasets.

Methodology:

Converts XML-based biological data into HBase tables and applies a formal transformation of the XML query model into the MapReduce query model for distributed query execution.
