With XPL, it is easy to construct mediators for data integration based on XML, and it can accelerate the work in the mediator.展开更多

First, we utilize a collection of XML namespaces organized into hierarchical structure as a medium for expressing data semantics. Second, we define the format of resource descriptor for the information source discovery scheme so that we can dynamically register and/or deregister the Web data sources on the fly. Third, we employ an inverted-index mechanism to identify the subset of information sources that are relevant to a particular user query. We describe the design, architecture, and implementation of our approach—IWDS, and illustrate its use through case examples.
