Constructing XML views over binary data
Norihide Shinagawa, Hiroyuki Kitagawa · International Database Engineering and Applications Symposium · 2004
Ordinary applications mainly use application-specific binary data and XML has been widely used to exchange, integrate and manage data. When we expand the scope of XML technologies to cover binary data, it becomes possible for the data to be shared by many areas beyond that of the original application. We propose a scheme to achieve XML views over binary data, which are produced dynamically and partially based on address calculation. A DOM API supporting updates and XPath query optimization scheme for the XML views are then possible prototype. This paper presents experimental results using the implementation.
