The approach is validated against a set of formal requirements, as well as several industrial case studies showing its practical applicability.
XML is a popular format for data representation. As the amount of data represented in XML grows, it is necessary to concentrate on the process of modeling XML schemes of the XML representations. However, modeling the XML schemes on the level of XML schema languages, such as XML Schema, has some drawbacks. A natural idea to improve this situation is to model the XML schemes first on a conceptual level. It is motivated by the world of relational databases where the A01 also starts modeling the data first on a conceptual level. In this publication the focus lies on conceptual modeling for XML. The A01 starts with a motivating example to point out to several problems that can arise when using on...
