Abstract

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) has been developed as the lingua franca for exchange of (structured) documents over networks. It is being enthusiastically developed for many processes (middleware, declarative programming, etc.) and maps onto many (but not all) aspects of Object-Oriented Design. XML documents can therefore be seen as Information Objects with structure, encapsulation and type but to which objects have to be added. The primary approach is through the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) in conjunction with XML Namespaces and XML Schemas. Java is currently the chosen language for implementing such objects. The talk will be an in-depth overview of what XML and Java can supply and how it complements other approaches.
