Tiivistelmä
The volume of data in the World Wide Web has expanded dramatically over the last few years. Efficient methods of accessing the data, sharing and extracting information have become some of the critical needs of today’s web. Conventional tools prove to be useless with these issues. The web, therefore, needs to evolve from HTML with the help of the latest revolutions in structural and content modelling techniques which introduce XML (EXtensible Markup Language), Topic Maps, RDF (Resource Description Framework) and other similar technologies.
This thesis explores the practical application of XML as a potential approach to make the web and content management system more semantic and powerful. The main aim of this thesis is to build a system which relies on an XML-database instead of the traditional database models.
Different XML-related technologies like XML Schema, DTDs (Document Type Definitions) XQuery, XSLT (EXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) are used in the process which contributes towards developing a data system that relies on XML databases and views over them.
As a part of the thesis, a simple application of XML which demonstrates the strong practical features of XML is developed. The final outcome of the thesis project is an XML-based XHTML (EXtensible HyperText Markup Language) page.
