Thanks. The key point I gather from reading the paper is:
Because of the sensitive nature of the study data, the
element names used in the sample XML data cannot be
discussed in this paper. It can be noted, however, that
the tag names used were unabbreviated, descriptive
terms.
As mentioned above, the precise structure and content of
the samples cannot be presented here. However, the
general structure and data types of the XML documents
used for the study can be discussed. These are
illustrated in Figure 1, below. Although the study data
is not available to the reader, this depiction should
indicate that the XML sample structure and content is
sufficiently rich for the study purposes.
In other words the raw data is not available, so it's impossible for
anybody to independently verify these results. Perhaps more
importantly, we can't tell whether the data set used to produce these
results is similar to the sorts of XML data we're working with or
not. We don't know whether these results would likely be reproducible
in our own environments.
