In my humble opinion I think XML is great! As a pre-'Master' student is am started playing with XML about a year ago and a few months ago i released DatabaseAccessDefinitionML (DADML) and found that XML has many very interesting aspects that complement current internet standards. Like siteChanges.xml. DADML makes it possible to connect database over the internet. It consist of three components: one defines a superdatabase and links other real databases; a second defines a 'real' database with definitions of the fiels, how they are indexed, how they can be retrieved (URL, free/commercial etc.) and more; the last component defines the indices for which information is available. This last file can be generated automatically through CGI scripting ofcourse. This project is pure out of enthousiasm for XML and as small as it is shows how easy it is AND how much fun it is to work with XML. Even if it is just a hobby... The first practical use of DADML is currently being developed. A preview can be viewed at the Woordenboek Organische Chemie. Try the following link http://www.sci.kun.nl/cgi-bin-sigma/woc/view?azijnzuur The links bellow the Databases picture are the fields of the 'real' databases written boldly. The designation (misschien aanwezig) means 'note sure if information is available for this compound'. That is because there is no data indexfile for this field given. Although a superdatabase can also check the availability by questioning the http deamon. If File Not Found is returned this field is obviously not available for this compound. More information can be found at http://www.sci.kun.nl/sigma/Persoonlijk/egonw/dadml/ or email me: egonw@s... XMl really is a lot of fun! Egon xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
