Abstract
XML is an emergent standard for data representation and exchange on the Web. In this paper, we present a view model for XML based on XML-QL. Views over semistructured data filter data of interest for applications. Furthermore, they provide structure to semistructured data that can be exploited by the query optimiser. A XML view is defined by a query on XML document(s) and returns a XML document that can be handled by any XML browser. In our approach, a DTD validating the view result is generated. Moreover, our view specification language takes into account distribution. Indeed, with our view definition, the user can express which data should be transmitted and materialised.
