To facilitate data exchange, industry groups define public document type that specify the format of the XML data to be exchanged between their applications. In this paper, we propose a new method to solve the problem of automating the conversion of relational data into XML. During the conversion, we considers not only the structure of relational schemas, but also semantic constraints such as inclusion dependencies during the translation--it takes as input a relational schema where multiple tables are interconnected through inclusion dependencies and converts it into an X-Schema. Finally, in order to validate our proposal, we present experimental results using real schemas.展开更多
