Abstract
Metadata is data about data that is used to mange data itself. As applications based on DBMS are increased, it is suggested that metadata model and metadata interchange model to manage metadata in DBMS. but metadata which is in the form of XML (eXtensible Markup Language) document is generally stored into RDBMS. Therefore In this paper, as for the method to store metadata of RDBMS into OODBMS, we design metadata model, metadata interchange model and implement new repository system. The metadata of RDBMS is translated into in the form of XML Document and integrated into XML Data Server on OODBMS, eXcelon and executes retrieval metadata information about RDBMS by XQL(XML Query Language). So It is possible to searchm edit a metadata. The metadata of XML documents stored in eXcelon is easily made to be printed in web browser by applying a XSL (extensible StyleSheets Language). So we can have a detail information about property of metadata in DBMS.
