With rapid increase of semistructured data over the Web,XML becomes popular to represent such data and emergesas a de facto standard for information exchange amonge-business applications. Since XML data are widely distributed,new native XML database systems, which arespecifically tailored for managing such data, become necessary.Unlike data in conventional databases, XML hasspecial characteristics and constraints, thus, well-definedarchitectural framework for conventional databases are notcompletely relevant to be adopted in native databases. Currentstate-of-the-art native databases employed their ownarchitectures in their database designs, as a result, they areinconsistent and there is still lack of a common architecturalframework that can be referenced by future XML databasedesigners. We aim to fulfill this requirement. In this paper,we propose a general and an extended architectural frame-worksthat are derived from our practical experience ondesigning an efficient storage for XML data while preservingdesirable features and possible constraints. The validationdemonstrates that the proposed framework coversthe architectures employed in current state-of-the-art nativedatabase systems.
