To really preserve the relationships in arbitrarily structured XML, you pretty much need to use a database that directly supports an XML query language like XQuery or XPath.

However is it also possible to map these? <address> <name/> <street/> <area> <niceplace/> </area> </address> Here we have a hierarchy in area (niceplace) which I want to preserve. Suppose that the meaning of niceplace in an area is different from the niceplace in the first xml structure (closer specified). I want to preserve this. Is there a way to index with Lucene means? If not, are there any attempt of people doing this or does somebody have ideas how this could be solved?
