Predictive Modeling in XML Compression

Abstract:

Since its advent, the Extensible Markup Language (XML) has gained tremendous popularity
in many different application areas. However, XML data is generally very verbose and
redundant, and thus it requires a lot of disk space to store and bandwidth to transfer. To
overcome this problem, many methods for compressing XML documents have been proposed.
In general, data compression requires a model which is used to predict the next symbol in the
data. In this paper, we compare different models suitable for XML compression. We also
present a novel modeling method and measure the information content in a set of XML
documents using different modeling methods.
