| Abstract: |
|
The advancement of web and internet technology has introduced new opportunities whereby information repository can now be exchanged, integrated, streamlined, and interogated in a wider global environment. To facilitate this opportunity, a standard information representation and vocabularies is required. In the last few years, XML data representation has increasingly gained acceptance as the standard representation for information exchange.
Many domain standard bodies have started to enforce the utilisation of XML encoding and vocabularies for their data specification standard. For example among many others:
§ In finance domain: XBRL/SBR - the latest XML-based Australian Standard for Business Reporting Language - covers information representation for the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), Australian Security Exchange (ASE), and the Australian Investments and Securities Commission (ASIC);
§ In health/medical record domain: HL7 (Health Language 7) – XML-based patient medical records data exchange;
§ In bioinformatics domain: BSML (Bioinformatics Sequence Markup Language) for data exchange in genome research projects;
§ In aviation domain: AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) – data representation to allow global aviation data exchange; and
§ In geographical information domain: GML (Geographical Markup Language) XML-based representation for storing spatial data.
The above facts open up opportunities for collaboration not only within the same domain but also across different domains. At the same time, it also creates more research collaboration opportunities that make use of the new data structures and semantics that can be embedded within XML documents.
In this seminar, Wenny will give an overview of the current works in XML data management within the DEKM (Data Engineering and Knowledge Management) group. With the increase usage of XML structures, and the growing size of XML document collections, it is now critical to utilise efficient techniques to store and retrieve XML documents within an XML database system. The XML database forms a foundation for the development of XML-based applications for data analysis, knowledge extraction, and business intelligence systems. In this talk, an overview of our research and development in XML databases and XML Warehousing will be covered. The applications of XML Databases in specific domains such as Clinical database systems in medical domain and Aviation database systems will be discussed.
