In this Paper, we analyze the application of Interactive Data Broadcasting in DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) in the accordance with convergence of service and technology. With the acceleration of digital convergence in the Ubiquitous period substantial development of digital media technology and convergence of broadcasting and telecommunication industry are being witnessed. Consequently these results gave rise to newly combined-products such as DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting), WCDMA(Wide-band code division multiple access), Wibro(Wireless Broadband Internet), IP-TV (Internet protocol TV) and HSDPA(High speed downlink packet access). The preparatory stage for the implementation of Interactive Data Broadcasting Service will be reached by the end of December, 2006. DMB is the first result of a successful convergence service between Broadcasting and Telecommunication in new media era. Multimedia technology and services are the core elements of DMB. The Data Broadcasting will not only offer various services of interactive information such News, Weather, Broadcasting Program etc, but also be linked with characteristic function of mobile phone such as calling and SMS(Short Message Service) via Return Channel.

Since the emergence of XML as the standard for data exchange on the Web, XML warehousing technology is required to efficiently support Web business applications such as e-Commerce. When the RDBMS is employed as the storage for XML warehouse, XML materialized views of the XML warehouse could be provided by leveraging the materialized views of the RDBMS Because XML documents are mapped into relational tuples, an XML query defining an XML materialized view needs to be transformed into SQL. If relational materialized views were defined with the transformed SQL statements, the XML materialized view could be obtained just by XML-tagging the tuples of the corresponding relational materialized views. The foremost advantage of such a scheme is that the RDBMS does take care of XML materialized view consistency except XML tagging whenever their source XML documents are updated. In this paper, we proposed such a scheme of providing XML materialized views, and implemented it using a commercial RDBMS equipped with materialized view facility in Java on Windows 2000 Professional environment. XML documents in TPC-W, Web e-Commerce Benchmark, were used in performance experiments. The experimental results showed that our proposed scheme for XML materialized views was very effective.
