Abstract

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is emerging as a new standard for data representation and exchange over the Web [3]. It is a markup language that resembles HTML, but unlike HTML, it focuses on the structure of data rather than on their presentation. The extensibility of XML makes it an ideal candidate for integration and manipulation of Web data through a common data model. A large number of DTDs (XML Document Type Definitions) that target all sorts of information domains has already been developed, and new DTDs are released at a fast pace. XML claims to be the enabling technology for application interoperability and for a unified view of heterogeneous information.

This work has been partially supported by the Greek General Secretariat of Research and Technology under the project “Executable Intensional Languages and Intelligent Applications in Multimedia, Hypermedia and Virtual Reality” of IIENEΔ’99.
