DM-XIDS – An Application-Layer Router of Incoming XML Streams

With the explosion of the information on the Internet and the widely use of the XML as a data exchange media, more and more information application can communicate with each other and deliver data of large volume in a continuous streaming. This trend has led to the emergence of novel concepts in data acquisition, integration, exchange, management and access. In this paper, we propose middleware architecture on XML streams information dissemination and design a prototype DM-XIDS as an applicable extension to our traditional database management system (named DM). As a middleware of our database system, DM-XIDS presents a novel concept of an application-layer information router with additional administrative functions, which builds bridges between the XML stream source and the underlying data storage conforming to the pre-customized strategy.
