Abstract:
Data exchanging is involving as an important
role in the Web application and Extensible
Markup Language (XML) is also accepted as the
standard for exchanging information between the
heterogeneous systems. The XML schema acts as
the standard format between the sender and
receiver for the XML documents. As a result, the
design of the schema document is very important
because most of the XML documents are
validated with their schema. In this paper, the
two string matching algorithms (Maximum
Consecutive Substring at right and any) are
proposed for detecting the common attributes in
the relations. Then, these string matching
algorithms are applied for detecting the common
attributes in the relations. The similar attributes
are grouped and converted as element group in
XML schema document for converting the
relational database to XML schema document.
The resulted XML schema is more modular;
more understand for the human readers and
reduce the maintainability effort.
