Question # 4: What Role will XML Play?
XML provides a promising direction for a more structured Web and DBMS-based Web servers
Promote standardization, help construction of multi-layered Web-base.
Will XML transform the Web into one unified database enabling structured queries like:
- “find the cheapest airline ticket from NY to Chicago”
- “list all jobs with salary > 50 K in the Boston area”
It is a dream now but more will be minable in the future!
