Requirements for XML Document Database Systems

The shift from SGML to XML has created new demands for managing structured documents. Many XML documents will be transient representations for the purpose of data exchange between different types of applications, but there will also be a need for effective means to manage persistent XML data as a database. This paper explores requirements for an XML database management system. The purpose of the paper is not to suggest a single type of system covering all necessary features. Instead the purpose is to initiate discussion of the requirements arising from document collections, to offer a context in which to evaluate current and future solutions, and to encourage the development of proper models and systems for XML database management.

Kevin Libin: A Three-P portrait gallery doesn't fit the Tories' new-found appreciation for the arts

The e-mail from Ottawa landed in Qualico Developments inbox at 3:58 pm, Edmonton time, Friday, long after federal offices in the capital had closed for the week. It was short and to the point: The developer’s bid to design and build a home for the National Portrait Gallery of Canada was not successful. None were. The process was being scrapped. But there was little by way of explanation, says Ken Cantor, Qualico’s commercial manager. “’[The] review determined none of them meet the requirements of the government of Canada,’” Mr. Cantor reads from the email. “Which I thought was interesting, [because] it didn’t say they didn’t meet the requirements of the proposal call.” He’s sure his bid, and probably others, fully satisfied those requirements, laid out last year.

Reuse Code Or Code It Yourself?

eldavojohn writes "I began coding for a project that had simple requirements for my employer — Web services and a test application for them. But requirements have been creeping, as they always do. Initially I had decided to use the Spring Framework with Hibernate. And I re-used a lot of libraries that made things simple and quick for me. The new requests coming in involve capabilities beyond those of the frameworks. Now, I used to be told that good programmers write code and great programmers reuse code. It's starting to look like I would have saved myself a whole lot of time if I had written the database transaction using JDBC instead of Hibernate — now that I'm married to this object model framework, some of this stuff doesn't look doable.
