Abstract

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) tends to become a widely accepted formalism for the representation and exchange of data over the Web. A problem that often arises in practice is the representation in XML of data that are context-dependent (for example, information that exists in many different languages, in many degrees of detail, and so on). In this paper we propose an extension of XML, namely MXML or Multidimensional XML, which can be used in order to alleviate the problem of representing such context-dependent (or multidimensional) data. Apart from its usefulness in the semistructured data domain, MXML also reveals some new and promising research directions in the area of multidimensional languages.
