XML schema domain identification

Abstract

Using XML data was initially applied in electronic data interchange and e-business, however the application of XML has been moved to several other fields. We nominate those fields of use as XML domains and presume that subsets of their characteristics significantly differ from one another. In this paper, we present the list of identified XML domains with high degree of XML Schema appearances, and for the XML domains, we identify common and distinctive characteristics. Additionally, we propose a function for transforming identified XML domains into known XML Schema patterns.
