Abstract:
With the rapid development of the Internet,
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is increasingly gaining
acceptance as a medium for integrating and exchanging
data. Meanwhile, object-oriented database has a strong
ability to store data, XML can benefit greatly and
specifically from database support and object-oriented
database management system. Consequently, it is
significant to exchange data from object-oriented database
to XML. In particular, taking spatiotemporal information
existing in many practical applications into consideration,
we study the spatiotemporal data models and the problem
of exchanging spatiotemporal data from object-oriented
database to XML. In order to find an XML Schema which
is the best description of the existing object-oriented
database, we propose a comprehensive approach to focus
on a set of mapping functions to accomplish the
transformation of spatiotemporal data.
