Abstract :
XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a textual markup language designed for the creation of self-describing documents which contain textual data combined with structural information describing the structure of the textual data. We introduce XCoP (XML Content Repository) as a repository which is based on an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) and improves content management of XML documents, thereby exploiting their structural information. It allows users to reuse and process the textual portions of document contents, called fragments, which are flexibly configurable. Moreover, it enables collaborative development of documents and facilitates synchronization of fragment modification and versioning. Thus, XCoP offers comprehensive content management functionality by taking advantage of the availability of structural information
