Chen Ji-xiang · Marine Science Bulletin · 2004
XML (Extensive Markup Language), which was recommended by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), serves as the new generation of language for web releasing. In this thesis, a study on XML application modes in marine data services is conducted in terms of marine data description, marine data exchange and marine information releasing respectively. Some principles of effective encoding marine original data, quality control of data recordings and data editing and modifying are discussed in respect of XML application in marine data description. A XML-based star-sheped mode for marine data exchange is produced. In addition, a XML-based three-layer marine information system model is designed for marine information releasing. Lastly, a perspective on XMLs application in the marine data service field is raised aiming to boost its development in the future.
