Abstract

Over the past few years, XML (Extensible Markup Language) has become the standard for data and document interchange between distributed systems. With the continuing proliferation of the Internet, XML has also become a key technology for transactional e-business. A large percentage of Internet interactions, however, involves searching through documents, Web pages, databases, and other information resources. This article explores some of the ways XML can improve these types of searches. It focuses particularly on searches through legacy databases and on the changes you can make to your legacy systems to effectively exploit XML.
