XML文档和XML数据库的集成化建模架构

An Integrated Architecture for Modeling XML Documents and XML Databases

引入了一个4维透视图,它为讨论XML文档模式和XML数据库模式建立了一个统一的上下文,统一了XML和数据库2个研究领域的概念。提出了一种建模系统的架构,它能同时支持XML文档建模和XML数据库建模,是一个集成化开发环境,由一系列工具有机结合而成。该建模系统支持3个抽象级别的建模:本体层、概念层和逻辑层;支持2个领域的建模:XML域和XML数据库域。最后讨论了系统的实现方案。

A 4-dimension perspective was introduced, which can be used to specify XML document＇s schema and XML database＇s schema in a consistent context. Then the architecture of an integrated modeling environment was presented, which consisted of several related tools, can support the modeling of both XML document and XML database. The architecture supported three levels of abstraction： ontological, conceptual, and logical and supported two domains： XML domain and XML database domain. Finally the issues for implementing the architecture were dscussed.
