Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We consider finding an optimum transformation to correct an invalid XML document w.r.t. a DTD. To transform an XML document, we treat the document as an ordered tree and apply to the tree three kinds of operations (i)add(adding a new node), (ii)del(deleting an existing node), and (iii)upd(updating the label of a node), where each operation has a cost . We first show a polynomial-time algorithm for finding the optimum cost to transform an invalid XML document into a valid one. We next prove that if the cost of an operation on a node n depends on nodes other than n, then the problem of deciding if there exists a sequence s of operations to transform a given invalid XML document into a valid one at cost no greater than K is strongly NP-complete.
