Estudo comparativo sobre bancos de dados XML nativo e desenvolvimento de uma aplicação

Abstract

The XML language is becoming increasingly known in recent years. Besides being widely used for storing and exchanging information, it is also a language easy to understand for two reasons: first, a document may be encoded in XML and you can still read and understand it; second, a XML document can represent information in a hierarchical manner, making it possible to insert information to your content. However, despite the fact that the XML is a well structured language, it becomes difficult to find information in a collection of documents without the help of a specialized tool, such as a database. Thus, the objective of this work is to perform a search, select some native XML databases (NXD) and compare them, showing common and specific features. After this comparison, to choose a NXD and develop an application that uses the NXD for querying and modifying data into the database.
