Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of efficiently transforming relational schemas into nested-based XML schemas. The proposed conversion algorithm considers preserving the structural constraints, cardinality and participation ratios, by analyzing each relation in relationship to others. Several candidate XML structures are proposed for each type of relationship according to its structural constraints from which the optimum one is chosen in terms of compact nested XML structure and determining the smallest XML data file
