Conceptual Modeling for Customized XML Schemas
نویسندگان
چکیده
XML was initially developed for document management, but it is becoming increasingly used for storing and exchanging all kinds of data on the Internet. In this paper, we introduce a design methodology for XML schemas that is based upon well-understood conceptual modeling methodologies. Because XML is hierarchical (tree-structured), many different XML schemas (or document structures) can be generated from the same conceptual database schema. We describe algorithms for generating customized hierarchical views from EER model, creating XML schemas from hierarchical views, generating SQL queries corresponding to the XML schemas, and creating XML instance documents from the query results. 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Reverse-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 کاملReverse Engineering of XML Schemas to Conceptual Diagrams
It is frequent in practice that different logical XML schemas representing the same reality from different viewpoints exist. There is also usually a conceptual diagram modeling the reality independently of the viewpoints. It is important to keep the XML schemas and conceptual diagram consistent as they are both utilized for different purposes. In practice, this is however rarely the case. In th...
متن کاملA Conceptual Modeling Approach to XML Schema Evolution
Conceptual design methods are used in many elds of computer science. Most methods support the design of new applications. The evolution of existing applications is similar to the design task. A unique model, method and tool that support both tasks is desirable. In this article, such a method is suggested for the design and the evolution of XML schemas. The article focusses on the evolution and ...
متن کاملUsing Schematron as Schema Language in Conceptual Modeling for XML
Today, XML is a standard for message exchange inside and among IT infrastructures. For the exchange to work an XML format must be negotiated between the communicating parties. The format is often expressed as an XML schema. In our previous work, we introduced a conceptual model for XML, which utilizes modeling, evolution and maintenance of a set of XML schemas and allows exporting modeled forma...
متن کاملLinda Bird and Andrew Goodchild
XML is rapidly becoming the standard method for sending information across the Internet. XML Schema, since its elevation to W3C Recommendation on the 2 May 2001, is fast becoming the preferred means of describing structured XML data. However, until recently, there has been no effective means of graphically designing XML Schemas without exposing designers to low-level implementation issues. Bird...
