xsdbXML -- a framework for distributing querying and combining tabular data over the Internet

The xsdb data language and xsdb query engines are designed to make it easy to publish and combine data in the same sense that the HTML format and web browsers are designed to make it easy to publish and view documents.

There are four separate implementations: a Python implementation, a javascript implementation, a C#/.NET implementation, and a java implementation. For all implementations all source code is distributed using SourceForge. Download the package, including this documentation from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93603.

xsdbXML documentation index

• Example Applications
• The xFeed package uses xsdb technology to help implement asyncronous javascript with XML (AJAX) type ahead completion functionality on web pages.
• Introductory Material
• The goals and motivation document explains what problems the xsdbXML framework solves.
• The use guide explains how to install and use xsdbXML.
• The intuitive introduction walks through a number of xsdbXML use cases.
• Detailed Technical Discussions
• The overview describes the xsdbXML system from a high level technical perspective.
• The model theory describes the set theoretical framework used to assign meanings to xsdbXML expressions.
• The assertions specification formally describes the syntax and interpretation of xsdbXML assertions.
• The query semantics describes the meaning and optimality criterion for xsdbXML queries.

Note: The xsdb project is currently divided into two efforts which have not yet been integrated housed in two separate directories. The xsdbXML directory provides an XML mode of expression with query semantics. The xsdb directory contains the xsdb server software, which is not yet integrated with xsdbXML, and which is likely to change drastically soon. Please look to xsdbXML first.
