An XML Conceptual Model:XUML
Hong Liu · 2007
As XML has become the standard for representing structured and semi-structured data on the Web, the methods for designing XML schemas is becoming more and more important. In order to design or integrate XML schemas, it is necessary to first design the conceptual structures with a proper conceptual model. The requirement to XML conceptual model is analyzed. Then a new XML conceptual model, XUML, has been introduced, which has following characteristics and advantages: expressing the containment semantics more explicitly, supporting the concept of Business Components, specifying the data dependencies in multiple contexts, and based on the UML2 standard. Lastly an approach to the implementation of XUML is explained by using an example.
