Abstract

In order to enrich XML with event driven, active behavior,the Active XML Schema approach defines active behaviorwithin XML schemas along metadata, and stores tracesof active behavior such as occurred events within XML documentsalong data. The semantic expressiveness of XMLSchema, the schema language recommended by the W3C,however, is not sufficient to define the active semantics ofActive XML Schema concepts. The contribution of this paperis to identify, explore, and evaluate approaches to implementingActive XML Schema with XML Schema, discussingthe trade-off between semantic expressiveness and interoperability.Assuming that Active XML Schema may be seen asrepresentative for tailored schema languages, the findingsof this paper can be applied for arbitrary tailored schemalanguages.
