Aim of the Workshop |
| Companies and organizations are
today massively using the Web as the main information
distribution means both at the internal and external
level. Such a widespread use of the Web has pushed the
rapid development of suitable standards for information
representation. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is
currently the most relevant standardization effort in the
area of data exchange trough markup languages. XML has
many similarities with object-oriented data models and
languages. However, whereas the object-oriented
technology has reached a great level of maturity, XML is
still in its infancy. The aim of the workshop is thus to discuss how object-oriented technology can be exploited in data management solutions for XML and which issues require new developments and further investigation. The workshop is limited to about twenty-five participants to ensure ample time for discussion and interaction. Preliminary conference proceedings will be distributed to participants. We expect to be able to publish the best papers in the ECOOP'99 Workshop Reader or in a related publication. To maximize participant interaction and discussion, the workshop will be conducted as a combination of paper presentations and a panel session. |
