Towards Improvement of Active XML Representation

Abstract

Active XML (AXML) as an intensional XML Data aims to exploit potential computing power of XML, Web services and P2P architecture. It is considered as a powerful extension of XML to deal with dynamic XML data from autonomous and heterogeneous data sources at very large scale via Web services. However, AXML is still immature, so there are various issues to be investigated before it can be accepted widely. This paper will focus towards analyzing the current AXML representation and proposing improvements. It is expected that the new AXML representation will lay out foundation for improvements of AXML systems.
