Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊科學學系 === 82 === Signature file is a popular strategy applied to the text retrieval methods of relational database. Recently, some researches discovered that the characteristic of signature file could deal with some problems of object-oriented database. There are two primary parts in this thesis. Firstly, it proposes a new method of signature file. Secondly, signature file is applied to object - oriented database. Part I : There are two factors that influence the efficiency of the signature file. One is the false drop probability, the other is the cost of searching the signature file. The false drop probability is affected by the signature extraction methods, while the cost of the signature file is decided by searching storage structures. These two factors were considered separately in the literature. In this thesis, the signature extraction methods are integrated with the storage structures to result in several new signature file methods. The new methods take the two factors into considerations at the same time. The new signature file methods designed upon this concept have the capabilities of high filtering and fast searching. Part II: In the past, the index of OODB was designed for special queries. It is inconvenient and not general. In this thesis, a new method based on the signature file approach is proposed to solve the problem of index in OODB.
