The XML Store is a distributed, value-oriented storage facility for storing XML documents. This thesis demonstrates that it is possible to design and implement an XML Store based on a peer-to-peer distributed file system. The distributed file system is based on Chord, a routing and location protocol developed at MIT, and provides a distributed hash table for storage of data. The Chord protocol is highly scalable as it looks up data in time logarithmic in the number of servers and requires only logarithmic space for routing information at each node.
