چکیده

The paper illustrates the system WITH (Write on Internet clinical Trials in Haematology) which supports the writing of a clinical trial (CT) document. The requirements of this system have been defined analysing the writing process of a CT and then modelling the content of its sections together with their logical and temporal relationships. The system WITH allows: a) editing the document text; b) re-using the text; and c) facilitating the cooperation and the collaborative writing. It is based on XML mark-up language, and on a RDBMS. This choice guarantees: a) process standardisation; b) process management; c) efficient delivery of information-based tasks; and d) explicit focus on process design.

X-Binder: Path Combining System of XML Documents Based on RDBMS

With the increasing use of XML, considerable research is being conducted on the XML document management systems for more efficient storage and searching of XML documents. Depending on the base systems, these researches can be classified into object-oriented DBMS (OODBMS) and relational DBMS (RDBMS). OODBMS-based systems are better suited to reflect the structure of XML-documents than RDBMS-base...

Transaction Management for XML Stored in Relational Database Systems⋆

Nowadays, modern commercial relational database management systems (RDBMS) enable functionality to store, query and update XML data. One of the key problems is efficient handling of concurrent access to XML data stored in RDBMS. In this paper, we present an efficient concurrency control method for XML data stored in RDBMS. Our approach is based on Grabs et. al. work on XMLTM, an XML transaction...

A Scheme for Evaluating XML Engine on RDBMS

There are an increasing number of DBMS vendors thinking of integrating XML data management into traditional relational database, with wider use of XML. In this case, a comprehensive evaluation methodology is needed to evaluate the XML engine in RDBMS correctly. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of XML engine and propose an evaluation strategy of XML engine in a RDBMS. We believe tha...

Storing and Querying XML Documents Without Using Schema Information

As the popularity of eXtensible Markup Language (XML) continues to increase at an astonishing pace, data management systems for storing and querying large repositories of XML data are urgently needed. In this paper, we investigate using a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) for storing and querying XML data. We present a mapping scheme, called PAID, for mapping XML documents to relati...

Pragmatic XML Access Control Using Off-the-Shelf RDBMS

As the XML model gets more popular, new needs arise to specify access control within XML model. To meet these needs, various XML access control models and enforcement methods have been proposed recently. However, by and large, these approaches either assume the support of security features from XML databases or use proprietary tools outside of databases. Since there are currently few commercial...
