Job Finding System by Using XML Document Filtering: XFilter

Abstract

The exchange of data, information and knowledge becomes a key issue over the Internet. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) also plays an important role as a de-facto standard online data exchange mechanism. In most web applications, XML data filtering methods are applied. The various filtering mechanisms have been developed for XML data such as XFilter, YFilter, AFilter and so on. This paper describes filtering of XML document. This system applies XML data filter called XFilter that provides the matching of XML document to large numbers of user profiles and delivering relevant data to the interesting users. XFilter intends to provide approximate information and queries which are matched with the incoming XML documents. Firstly, this paper describes how to parse the XML document using SAX (Simple API for XML) Parser. Secondly, how to decompose XPath queries in the user profile as path node using XPath Parser is described. Finally, the matching step will be carried out inside Filter Engine. After that, we produce the relevant information for providing the user. In this paper, we apply job information by matching the job XML Document and the user desired XML format with XFilter method.
