Adopting XML for Large-Scale Information

This book has presented many different ways to encode information in XML format and the purposes for doing so. In this concluding chapter we consider problems related to managing XML information assets and the methods available to address those problems. Approaches for persistently storing XML data can be divided into file storage and database storage, and the research community has been especially active in designing new solutions for XML databases. However, adoption of XML often means massive migration procedures from some legacy data into the XML format; examples of migration cases are given. While describing the ­problems related to adopting XML, we give examples of the kinds of data for which XML is not suitable. As a case study we consider the large scale adoption of XML in the public sector.
