XML 기반의 쇼핑몰 시스뎀 개발에 관한 연구

Since the types and formats of the provided material and data are difficulties from one to another, difficulties have occurred in exchanging and sharing Information. Under such a circumstance, standardization and management of information or files have been a critical factor leading to an active and successful Electronic Commerce. XML(extensible Markup Language), which is a standardized format for data exchange via internet, has been recognized as a standard by World Wide Web Consortium(W3C). XML takes web environment as the interface, runs well even in a heterogeneous environment and saves data in a standardized format, therefore, it can be effectively used for creating and transferring standardized files. In this paper, a XML-based data processing system, which aims at supplementing the existing HTML-based shopping mall system and the methodology for constructing the system is presented with specific examples.
