Conceptual Modeling for XML: A Survey
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently XML is the standard format used for the exchange of data between information systems and is also frequently applied as a logical database model. If we use XML as a logical database model we need a conceptual model for the description of its semantics. However, XML as a logical database model has some special characteristics which makes existing conceptual models as E-R or UML unsuitable. In this paper, the current approaches to the conceptual modeling of XML data are described in an uniform style. A list of requirements for XML conceptual models is presented and described approaches are compared on the base of the requirements.

متن کاملReverse-engineering of XML Schemas: A Survey
As approaches to conceptual modeling of XML data become more popular, a need arises to reverse-engineer existing schemas to the conceptual models. They make the management of XML schemas easier as well as provide means for accomplishing integration of various XML data sources. Some methods for reverse-engineering of XML schemas have been proposed and in this paper, they are compared using vario...
متن کاملUsing XSEM for Modeling XML Interfaces of Services in SOA
In this paper we briefly describe a new conceptual model for XML data called XSEM and how to use it for modeling XML interfaces of services in service oriented architecture (SOA). The model is a combination of several approaches in the area of conceptual modeling of XML data. It divides the process of conceptual modeling of XML data to two levels. The first level consists of designing an overal...
متن کاملConceptual Modeling of IS-A Hierarchies for XML
In this paper we briefly describe a new conceptual model for XML called XSEM. It is a combination of several approaches in the area. It divides the conceptual modeling process to conceptual and structural level. At the conceptual level, we design an overall conceptual schema of a domain independently on the required hierarchical representations of the data in XML documents. At the structural le...
متن کاملXSEM - A Conceptual Model for XML
We propose a new conceptual model for XML data called XSEM as a combination of several approaches in the area of the conceptual modeling for XML. The model divides the conceptual modeling process of XML data to two levels. On the first level, a designer designs an overall non-hierarchical conceptual schema of a domain. On the second level, he or she derives different hierarchical representation...
