EEXTT2002. First VLDB Workshop on Efficiency and Effectiveness of XML Tools, and Techniques
See: http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~ebh/eextt2002/
Overview
"With XML potentially becoming the standard for data exchange on the Internet, a variety of XML management systems (XMLMS) differing widely in terms of expressive power and performance are becoming available. The majority of the XML management systems are legacy systems (mostly relational database systems) extended to load, query, and publish data in XML format. A few are native XMLMS and capture almost all the characteristics of XML data representation. Yet a large number of new techniques are being tuned or devised for the management of XML data. In this workshop we propose to focus on the evaluation of the performance, effectiveness and efficiency, of XMLMS systems, tools and techniques..." Topics include: Storage of XML data, Compression of XML data, Security for XML data, Generation of XML data from legacy applications, Indexing and retrieval of XML data, XML query languages, Query processing over XML data, Interchange and integration of XML data, Benchmarks for the management of XML data.
