16 Normalized Regular Hedge Grammar Definition A regular hedge grammar (RHG) is a 5-tuple (Σ, X, N, P, r f ) Σ is a finite set of symbols, X is a set of variables, N is a set of non-terminals, P is a set of production rules, each of which takes one of the two forms n x, where n is a non-terminal in N, and x is a variable in X, n a r, where n is a non-terminal in N, a is a symbol in Σ, and r is a regular expression comprising non-terminals, r f is a regular expression comprising non-terminals. Kim et al. (Yonsei University) Schema Inference LATA / 16

17 Normalized Regular Hedge Grammar Example (Relax NG) element addressbook { element card { element name { text }, element { text }, element prefershtml { empty }? }* } Example (RHG) RHG G = (Σ, X, N, P, n a) where Σ = {addressbook, card, name, , prefershtml} X = {text} N = {n a, n c, n n, n e, n p} P = {n a addressbook n c n c n n(n en p n e) n n name text n e text n p prefershtml ɛ } Kim et al. (Yonsei University) Schema Inference LATA / 16

18 Normalized Regular Hedge Grammar Definition A normalized regular hedge grammar (NRHG) is a 5-tuple (Σ, V T, V F, P, s) Σ is a finite set of terminals, V T is a set of tree variables, V F is a set of forest variables, P is a set of production rules consisting of Rule 1 : T x Rule 2 : T x F Rule 3 : F T Rule 4 : F TF s V T is a start variable.
