Modeling dynamic properties in the layered view model for XML using XSemantic nets

Abstract

Due to the increasing dependence on semi-structured data, there exists a requirement to model. design, and manipulate self-describing, schema based. semi-structured data models (e.g. XML) and the associated semantics at a higher level of abstraction than at the instance level. In this paper, we propose to model dynamic properties of a layered XML view model, at the conceptual level, using eXtensible Semantic (XSemantic) nets.
