skyline 查询 和 验证索引数据结构MR-tree的构建

简介

多维数据库的一种重要的查询类型 -- skyline.
skyline的定义

the skyline S is the set of all points p such that there is no other point q which dominates p

dominate的定义

q is said to dominate p if q is better than p in at least one dimension and not worse than p in all other dimensions.

ADS 验证数据结构

MR-tree 在 VLDB “Authenticated indexing for outsourced spatial databases” 首次提出。综合了MB-tree 和 R* tree.

Node Structure

叶子节点：一个叶子节点包含若干关键字（这里一个关键字是一个points或者data objects）。 叶子节点的摘要由节点里的所有关键字的摘要取串联。

中间节点：一个中间节点的包含若干项，每一项(pi, MBRi, Hi), pi是指针，MBRi是minimum bounding rectangle, Hi是第i个孩子的摘要。The digest summarizes child nodes’ MBRs(MBR1-MBRf ), in addition to their digests (H1−Hf).
