However, most of these semantics must consume much of their time in computing position probability. Our approach to support various top-k queries is based on position probability distribution （PPD） sharing. In this paper, a PPD-tree structure and several basic operations on it are proposed to support various top-k queries. In addition, we proposed an approximation method to improve the efficiency of PPD generation. We also verify the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach by both theoretical analysis and experiments.展开更多
