An Analysis of Element Information in XML Documents

This paper proposes the way to analyse XML docuements according to the element information. XML documents, which are becoming new standard for expressing and exchanging data in the Internet, don't have defined schema. It is not adequate to directly apply XML documents to the existing relational database or object-oriented database query language. Research on how to extract schema for XML documents and query language is going on actively For users' query, the results could be too many or too less. It is important to give the users adequate results. Our proposed analysis method can be reduced or extended to correspond to the users' query more flexibly.
