However XML languages can logically define the type of structure with their's own grammar, it is inadequate to use them as a tool for conceptual model that represents the semantics of data and the relationships between the data in the real world. In this paper, we propose conceptual modeling techniques, called CMXML, for modeling the XML schema at the conceptual level. For this purpose, we define the model formally, and provide a way to represent the model in a graphical and text form. We also propose an mapping methodology providing transformation from CMXML to XML schema to show the feasibility of the proposed model.

XML is becoming a de facto standard for the representation and exchange of data, and XML itself is well structured to store and manage data, but it is difficult to understand the document structure at a glance due to its diverse and complex expressions. Thus, it is not appropriate to use it as a tool of conceptual model. In this paper, we propose a method to transform XML schema document structure into conceptual model. To do this, we describe CMXML as a conceptual modeling tool and present transformation rules and data structures for transforming an XML schema structure into CMXML diagram. In the transformation procedure, the XML schema document is input and the CMXML diagram is generated by applying the transformation rules.

In these days, XML is a de facto standard language for representing and exchanging data. In order to define the conceptual model of the XML, we need to define the representation rules expressed in the diagram and propose the transformation algorithm that converts the diagram into a logical model of XML. This paper proposes a transformation methodology for generating a logical model from the conceptual model of the XML. We use CMXML as a conceptual model and generate XML schema definition as a logical model. For this, we define transformation rules and data structures for XML schema, and propose a transformation algorithm.
