XML-Driven Database Design and Information Retrieval
As XML becomes more widely used in the world of information processing, technologies continue to evolve their support of the growing XML standards. This year has seen the release of a number of XML-based data management standards (including XQuery and XPath 2.0) and support for these standards in numerous database management systems. This workshop explores database design and information retrieval in data-centric XML applications. In this workshop you will experience:
· Data modeling using XSD (XML Schema Definition) language
· Creating databases utilizing native XML persistence
· Information retrieval using the emergent XML XQuery and XPath 2.0 standards
The examples and demonstrations in this session will utilize Altova data management tools and IBM DB2 9 data server with pureXML technology.The overarching focus of the presentation is a “top-down” approach to data modeling using XSD as a data modeling language. The implications of this approach for data storage and retrieval will be considered, along with strategies for storing and retrieving information in XML formats.
