Abstract In this paper, the development of Extensible Markup Language (XML) schema of newly proposed Human body description format (HBDF) is proposed and further, the software and hardware solution for processing and acquiring the anthropometric parameters of the human body is presented. The analysis covers information on the HBDF format and specific measurement procedures that are associated with the format and together form a coherent structure for the recording of such data. The structure of the format itself is implemented as XML schema, determining the content of XML outputs. Experimental software solution is designed and proves valid in the examination of HBDF structure. The experimental hardware is proposed to introduce new approach to measurement using the physical real-world device. Proposed hardware solution also implements HBDF structure. Schema ensures the data coherency and integrity,while the proposed solution ensures the import, operation, and export of data. The XML schema was experimentally tested as a part of multiple research projects.

Written as a follow-up to an Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) pre-conference held during the 2015 American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference, Coding with XML for Efficiencies in Cataloging and Metadata is an excellent introduction to the potential of Extensible Markup Language (XML) and related technologies in creating efficiencies in library cataloging and metadata work. As stated in the volume’s introduction, this guide will be most useful to those with some familiarity with XML or Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). However, this is not a requirement as the first chapter introduces XML in a way that will bring most newcomers up to speed. Catalogers will likely benefit most from this volume given that the majority of examples involve MARC 21 bibliographic data. However, metadata managers more broadly will also find value here, particularly in sections on XML Schema Definition Language (XSD), Extensible Stylesheet Language for Transformation (XSLT), XPath, and XQuery. Coding with XML does not purport to be a comprehensive reference for all XML work in libraries, but more of “a tutorial on its subject” (3). This is certainly true—each section provides an approachable and thorough introduction to a particular technology rather than an exhaustive list of features. There is also a useful list of resources at the end of the book for readers who want more information and more in-depth examples.

Background: We wish to introduce a new chemical format called UCM (Universal Chemical Markup). The format is based on XML (Extensible Markup Language) and its first version focuses on recording chemical structures and their properties. Results: UCM currently supports structures containing isotopes, ions and various types of bonding including delocalized bonds. Properties can be expressed by combining UCM with UnitsML (Units Markup Language). Using UnitsML one defines quantities with scientific units, and then refers to them in UCM when recording property values. Users can also add literature references with BibTeXML (BibTeX Markup Language) and annotate the recorded data using plain text or XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) descriptions. In contrast to presently available general-purpose chemical formats, UCM offers built-in validation, which combines both grammar and pattern-based XML schema languages. Thus, all recorded data can be precisely validated by UCM schemas in standard XML validators. Conclusions: We developed the structure for UCM from scratch on the basis of an analysis described in our previous article. Starting from scratch allowed us to integrate BibTeXML, UnitsML and XHTML as well as chemical line notations and identifiers into UCM. It also helped us to avoid unnecessary redundant parts and create the implementation that aims to minimize ambiguity and is designed to be easily extensible in the future.

Real-world information including subjective opinions and judgments need imprecise data to be modeled for representation and querying in databases. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) has become a de-facto standard for data modeling and exchange in recent years. Efforts on modeling imprecision and representing such data in XML have not been fully developed. In this paper, an XML based fuzzy data representation and querying system is presented. Complex and imprecise data are represented using a fuzzy extension of XML. The representation forms the basis for a system which enables fuzzy querying on XML documents using XQuery, a XML query language. The system also enables restructuring of XML Schemas through merging of elements of the XML documents. By using this feature of the system, application specific XML Schema and XML documents can be generated from the existing documents.

Extensible Markup

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is used to describe semi-structured data, i.e., irregular or incomplete data whose structure may be subject to unpredictable changes. Unlike traditional semi-structured data, XML documents are self-describing, thus XML provides a platform-independent means to describe data and, therefore, can transport data from one platform to another (Bray, Paoli, & Sperberg-McQueen, 1998). XML documents can be both created and used by applications. The valid content, allowed structure, and metadata properties of XML documents are described by their related schema(s) (Thompson, Beech, Maloney, & Mendelsohn, 2001). An XML document is said to be valid if it conforms to its related schema. A schema also gives additional semantic meaning to the data it is used to tag. The schema is provided independently of the data it describes. Any given data set may rely on multiple schemas for validation. Any given schema may itself refer to multiple schemas.
