Abstract

The common approach to integrating XML documents is based on existing formal structures, not originally designed to integration tasks. In this paper we propose a Complex Tree model designed from the beginning to integration tasks, capable of representing most tree structures. The Complex Tree model is defined on both Schema and Instance level, to better work in practical situations. The integration task for Complex Trees is also defined on both levels. A set of explicitly stated criteria for integration is given, to better design future integration algorithms, in respect of the desired aim of integration process. Finally a simple integration algorithm is presented, based on selected criteria.
