Abstract
Database vendors and researchers have been responding to the establishing of XML [45] as the premier data interchange language for Internet applications with the integration of XML processing capabilities into Database Management Systems. The new features fall into two categories: XML-enabled interfaces allow the DBMS to speak and understand XML formats, whereas XML extensions add novel primitives to the engine core. Both kinds of innovations have the potential to impact the architecture of software systems, namely by bringing about a complexity reduction in multi-tier systems. However, it is often difficult to estimate the effect of these innovations. This is where the XML Benchmark Project tries to help with XMark. By providing an application scenario and a query workload, the benchmark suite can be used to identify strengths and weaknesses of XML-enabled software systems.
