I am happy to announce the first version of the Simple XML Data Manipulation Language (SiXDML) for the Apache Xindice native XML database. SiXDML was designed to create a common syntax and semantics for performing tasks most often required of XML repositories. SiXDML consists of two parts; a data definition and manipulation language inspired by SQL and an application programming interface based on the XML:DB Database API. The SiXDML language is similar to SQL and DL/I in that it is a combination data definition and data manipulation language for XML databases. The SiXDML language is designed to be easily understood by programmers and non-programmers alike, internet-aware, and combine a minimum of complexity with a maximum of functionality while being straight-forward to implement. SiXDML aims to plug the hole that currently exists for a data manipulation language that allows one to query and update XML documents while also providing a means to perform database management activities. More details about SiXDML including the source code for the Xindice implementation as well as the presentation from the First VLDB Workshop on Efficiency and Effectiveness of XML Tools, and Techniques (EEXTT2002) can be found on Source Forge at http://sixdml.sourceforge.net and http://sourceforge.net/projects/sixdml You can try out the SiXDML demo at http://www.25hoursaday.com/sixdml/demo.html Also visit the XML:DB Initiative page at http://www.xmldb.org/sixdml/ and consider joining the SiXDML development list, sixdml-dev@x.... To subscribe to the SiXDML mailing list, send a message to sixdml-dev-request@x... with the word subscribe in the body It should be noted that the Xindice version of SiXDML is primarily intended to serve as a reference implementation from which other implementations can take their cue.
