Vidakovic, J Rackovic, M Generating content and display of library catalogue cards using XML technology SOFTWARE-PRACTICE Y EXPERIENCE http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/abstract/112274051/ABSTRACT This paper presents the use of XML technology in modelling library documents, i.e. catalogue cards (and the type of reports) found in a library information system. The method of schema formation for content of various types of library catalogue cards is also described. The display of catalogue cards has been done based on described schemas. The display process has been performed in two steps. The first one extracts the content from a bibliographical record based on the schema describing catalogue card concepts. The result is an XML document containing all catalogue card concepts filled in with the corresponding content from the bibliographical record. Its display is being performed in the second step, resulting in an HTML document. As well as adequate representation of data obtained by searching bibliographical material databases, reporting is of prime importance in a library information system.

Design/methodology/approach - The Ching Digital Image Library, built on a three-tier architecture, is used as a source of examples to illustrate a number of methods of data manipulation for presentation processing. An SQL relational database is implemented in the data tier and Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is used to manage processes and sessions in the middle tier. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is used in the data tier to represent offers and in the presentation tiers to represent screen displays that can be manipulated using the XML Document Object Model (DOM), XML Data Islands, and XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language), before being delivered to the web browser as HTML. Findings - It is demonstrated that, although XML itself is not a database, the XML family provides many, though not all, of the components found in databases. XML coupled with a database gives greater power than the sum of the parts in a web application. Originality/value - This paper is a digital image library case study with practical generic tutorial elements about the role and function of XML in modem database-backed web sites. 0033-0337 2005 39 1 62 72 000227856200005 Gennaro, C Rabitti, F Savino, P The use of XML in a video digital library INTELLIGENT SEARCH ON XML DATA LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE 0302-9743 2003 2818 19 33 000186428900003 Yachnes, P XMLCat: an XML-encoded online library catalog LIBRARY COMPUTING This article details the development of an experimental XML-based online library catalog. The emerging technology of XML, and its early implementation in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, allowed for the development of an application employing the client-side processing of XML with Javascript. But slow implementation of XML by other browser vendors, and a tendency towards the slow adoption of the newest browser versions by users, demanded an application employing server-side processing of the XML. Now in its third version, XMLCat demonstrates the viability of this approach, and points to possibilities for its future development. 0742-5759 2000 19 1-2 59 67 000169652000009 Tennant, R XML: The digital library hammer LIBRARY JOURNAL 0363-0277 MAR 15 2001 126 5 30 + 000167482400007 Kim, HH Choi, CS XML: how it will be applied to digital library systems ELECTRONIC LIBRARY The purpose of this paper is to show how XML is applied to digital library systems. For a better understanding of XML, the major features of XML are reviewed and compared with those of HTML. An experimental XML-based metadata retrieval system, which is designed as a subsystem of the Korean Virtual Library and information System (VINIS) is demonstrated. The metadata retrieval system consists of two modules: a retrieval module and a browsing module. The retrieval module allows the retrieval of metadata stored in Microsoft Access files and the display of search results in an XML file format, while the browse module permits browsing of metadata in XML/XSL document formats. Finally, some issues for a more efficient application of XML to digital libraries are discussed. 0264-0473 2000 18 3 183 189 000088477500003
