Nowadays an information exchange on XML such as B2B electronic commerce is spreading. Therefore the systematic and stable management mechanism for storing the exchanged information is needed. For this goal there are many research activities for connection between XML application and relational database. But because XML data have hierarchical structures and relational database can store only flat-structured data, we need to make the conversion rule which changes the hierarchical architecture to 2-dimensional information. Accordingly the modeling methodology for storing each structured information in relational database is needed. In this paper, we introduce a XML modeling methodology to design W3C XML schema using UML and we propose a unified design methodology for relational database schema to store XML data efficiently in relational databases. In the second place, in order to verify objectivity of a unified design methodology. By the way of Ronald Bourret, First we introduce the method of the transformation from XML schema to object model and second we translate object model into relational database schema. Therefore we show the mutual consistency between those consequence, and so can verify a unified design methodology.

With increasing amounts of information on the web and needs to access accurately them, it is very important to standardize metadata and to store and manage system. The RDF(Rdsource Description Framework) is a framework for representing exchanging, and reusing metadata. And, it can be processing uniformly the standardized metadata, because it uses XML(eXtensible Markup Language) syntax. The RDF schema provides a basic type system for use RDF models. In this paper, we propose rules and an algorithm to convert the RDF schema into an UML(Unified Modeling Language) class diagram and formal models to represent an object-oriented schema for the RDF schema. The proposed rules and algorithm are useful for natural mapping and the object modeling of RDF schema can be easily converted into the object-oriented schema, and the formal models supports an efficient environment for retrieving and processing object-oriented documents.

웹상의 문서는 데이터 중심의 표준 언어인 XML 문서로 표현된다. XML 데이터를 범용적이고 우수한 성능의 관계형 데이터베이스와 연동하여 이용하기 위해서는 두 구조 사이의 맵핑 과정이 필요하다. 계층적 구조의 XML 문서와 데이터베이스의 평면적인 구조의 차이를 고려한 구조 맵핑을 위해서 검색 시스템에 적합한 가상분할 방식으로 엘리먼트를 분석하여 관계 스키마를 정의한 후 XML 문서를 저장한다. 이를 위해 스키마는 DTD 에 독립적인 형태로 변환하고, 엘리먼트의 추가와 삭제, 검색의 효율성을 위해 노드간의 위치 정보와 함께 독립적인 ID를 부여하여 구조적 검색을 수행할 수 있게 하였다.

The most representative approach for efficient storing of XML data is to store XML data in relational databases. The merit of this approach is that it can easily accept the realistic status that most data are still stored in relational databases. This approach needs to convert XML data into relational data or relational data into XML data. The most important issue in the translation is to reflect structural and semantic relations of RDB to XML schema model exactly. Many studies have been done to resolve the issue, but those methods have several problems: Not cover structural semantics or just support explicit referential integrity relations. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for extracting implicit referential integrities automatically. We also design and implement the suggested algorithm, and execute comparative evaluations using translated XML documents. The proposed algorithm provides several good points such as improving semantic information extraction and conversion, securing sufficient referential integrity of the target databases, and so on. By using the suggested algorithm, we can guarantee not only explicit referential integrities but also implicit referential integrities of the initial relational schema model completely. That is, we can create more exact XML schema model through the suggested algorithm.

Recently, XML has been emerging as a standard for storing and exchanging of data for various distributed applications based on the Internet. Since there are increasing demands to store and manage XML documents, a lot of research works are going on this area to develop new took and techniques based on the XHL. However, most of the researches are concentrated on mapping techniques based on instance or DTD, and the main focus is on structural transformation. Current trend of research is toward the usage of XML documents based on XML schema, and demands not only conversion of structure but also preservation of the semantic constraints. This paper sets up the using of DIDL standing on the basis of XML schema from MPEG-21 as an application domain, and proposes the mapping model that can preserve semantic constraints in addition. We expand previous research techniques in the preprocessing step for the specific domain, and then, apply various new mapping methods in the postprocessing step. We present and discuss the system architecture for implementation, and introduce the algorithms and present implementation environment and semantic extension methodology in detail. Finally we show actual table and query processing based on our proposal.

XML(eXtensible Markup Language) 프로그램이나 XML을 이용한 B2B 시스템 구축과 같은 XML 프로젝트에서는 객체 지향적 설계언어인 UML을 이용해 개발하면 효율을 높일 수 있다. UHL(Unified Modeling Language)로 XML문서 구조를 표현하는 이유는 XML문서를 생성, 접근, 수정하는 XML프로그램을 체계적이고 효율적으로 설계할 수 있기 때문이다. DTD(Document Type Declaration)와 스키마(Schema)를 UML로 표현함으로써 프로그래밍을 통합적으로 추진 할 수 있다. 이러한 과정에서 XML의 문서 구조정보의 활용 증대와 UML의 확장이라는 이점을 취할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 UIML 기반의 다이어그램에서 XML 문서서로의 변환기에 대한 모델을 제안한다.

Nowadays the information exchange based on XML such as B2B electronic commerce is spreading. Therefore a systematic and stable management mechanism for storing the exchanged information is needed. For this goal there are many research activities for concerning the connection between XML application and relational databases. But because XML data has hierarchical structure and relational databases can store only flat-structured data, we need to make a conversion rule which changes the hierarchical architecture to a 2-dimensional format. Accordingly the modeling methodology for storing such structured information in relational databases is needed. In order to build good quality application systems, modeling is an important first step. In 1997, the OMG adopted the UML as its standard modeling language. Since industry has warmly embraced UML, its popularity should become more important in the future. So a design methodology based on UML is needed to develop efficient XML applications. In this paper, we propose a unified design methodology for XML applications based on relational database using UML. To reach these goals, first we introduce a XML modeling methodology to design W3C XML schema using UML and second we propose data modeling methodology for relational database schema to store XML data efficiently in relational databases.

XML이 인터넷상에서 비즈니스 데이터 교환과 저장의 표준으로 자리 잡아감에 파라 많은 데이터베이스 연구자들이 XML과 관계형 보델 간의 스키마 변환 방법에 관한 연구를 수행하게 되었다. 지금까지 두 모델간의 변환 방법이 국내외에서 발표되고 있으나 이들 연구들에 대한 비교 및 고찰에 대한 체계적인 연구가 부족하였다. 본 논문에서는 XML과 관계형 모델간의 스키마 변환 방법에 관한 국내외 연구들을 분류 정리하여 비교 고찰함으로서 향후 XML 스키마와 관계형 데이터베이스간의 데이터교환 및 저장에 관한 연구의 사전(事前) 연구가 되도록 하였다.

As a XML Schema has been settled to W3C as standard at May. 2001 and technologies like as XML. Xpath and NameSpace related with XML has been developing. XML is becoming the standard of the new document exchanging. Due to the ability expressing various types of documentstructure through XML, ebXML, RosettaNet, and BizTalk are using XML as a core technology in the part of e-Business, To make the task automatically in the B2B EC now, a standard XML document is needed. Internal documents in each company should be transformed differently without any loss to work with other companies. In this paper, transforming XML document based on JAVA servlet is considered as realization of a XML system to exchange documents safely.

GML (Geography Markup Language) has become the widely adopted standard for transport and storage of geographic information. So, various researches such as modeling, storage, query, and etc have been studied to provide the interoperability of geographic information in web environments. Especially, there are increased needs to store semi-structured data such as GML documents efficiently. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement a GML repository to store GML documents on the basis of GML schema using spatial database system. GML Schema is converted into directed GML schema graph and the schema mapping technique from directed schema graph to spatial schema is presented. Also, we define the conversion rules on spatial schema to preserve the constraints of GML schema. GML repository using spatial database system is useful to provide the interoperability of geographic information and to store and manage enormous GML documents.
