Synopsis

Designing XML Databases is the most comprehensive guide to XML-based database design in Web and enterprise environments. If you already own an XML-enabled database system, you'll discover powerful design techniques for making the most of it. If you're working with a conventional RDBMS, you'll learn better ways to utilize it in XML application development. And if you're constructing an XML-based database from scratch, you'll master a complete, schema-based conceptual framework, using a start-to-finish case study. Designing XML Databases introduces state-of-the-art XML-based data modeling techniques, demonstrating how to integrate database design, DBMS system design, and XML application design. Discover practical approaches to storing XML data in object-oriented, relational, and flat-file databases; learn how to build effective XML database queries; and how to construct effective XSL and Java user interfaces to Web XML databases. You'll find comprehensive coverage of XML database architecture and native indexing; techniques for integrating XML databases into broader enterprise systems; and specific solutions for environments with custom requirements, such as scientific research. For all database professionals, XML application developers, system architects, and technical leaders involved in enterprise/Web development.

About this title

About the Author

MARK GRAVES has been developing software for over 15 years and spent much of that time developing database software. He has a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan in artificial intelligence and databases. He was then a postdoctoral fellow and instructor at Baylor College of Medicine, where he developed scientific software and databases to support the Human Genome Program. Currently, he is leading efforts to develop bioinformatics database solutions in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

About the Series Editor

DR. GOLDFARB is the father of markup languages, a term that he coined in 1970, and is the inventor of SGML, the International Standard on which both XML and HTML are based. You can find him on the Web at www.xmlbooks.com

Design powerful XML-based databases for any application!

Designing XML Databases is a comprehensive guide to XML-based database design in Web and enterprise environments. If you already own an XML-enabled database system, you'll discover powerful design techniques for making the most of it. If you're working with a conventional RDBMS, you'll learn better ways to utilize it in XML application development. And if you're constructing an XML-based database from scratch, you'll master a complete conceptual framework, using a start-to-finish case study. Mark Graves covers all this, and more:

• Integrating database design, DBMS system design, and XML application design
• Using object-oriented, relational, and flat-file databases to store XML data
• Expert XML-based data modeling techniques
• XML database queries: practical approaches, JDBC techniques, and mathematical foundations
• Building XSL and Java user interfaces to Web XML databases
• XML database architecture and native indexing
• Integrating XML databases into broader enterprise systems
• XML databases in scientific applications

Designing XML Databases will be an essential resource for all database designers/developers, XML application developers, system architects, and project technical leaders-especially those in environments with highly customized requirements.
