Because XML is rapidly becoming the Internet standard for data representation and exchange, how to efficiently store XML documents has become a core data management issue. At present, there are two basic strategies to store XML documents: one is called XML enabled database, another is called native XML database. However, most of existing XML database based on the above strategies has some limitations, such as, inefficient search and update, or not schema-independent, and so on.
In this presentation, I will take an overview of some of the well-known technologies regarding XML storage and present a novel method to efficiently and effectively store XML document according to the character of XML documents. This new storage system not only supports efficient search and updates, but also is schema-independent.
