CALL FOR PAPERS 
1st International Workshop on XML Schema and Data Management (XSDM'03) 
(In conjunction with ER 2003, Chicago, USA, www.er.byu.edu/er2003/) 

www.umr.edu/~madrias/XSDM-workshop'03.html

Workshop Proceedings to be published by Springer-verlag as LNCS



XML documents are self-describing, and provide a platform independent means to 
describe data and therefore, can transport data from one platform to another. 
XML documents can be mapped to one more of the existing data models such as 
Relational and Object-relational, and XML views can be produced dynamically 
from the pre-existing data models. XML queries can be mapped to the queries of 
the underlying models and can use their optimization features. In this context, 
schema management and discovery, query optimization, data integration and 
indexing plays important roles. XML data integration is useful for E-commerce 
applications such as comparison-shopping, which requires further study in the 
domain of data, schema and query based integration. XML Change management is 
another important area that has attracted attention in the context of web 
warehouse. XML has been in use in upcoming areas such as sensor data and 
biological data management.
XML has gain lot of attention from database researchers who are actively 
working in one or more of the emerging XML areas and this workshop is intended 
to bring together some of these researchers who can share their views under 
this workshop. We solicits papers with important new insights and experiences 
of managing XML data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to 

XML schema discovery
XML data integration
Indexing XML data
XML query languages
XML data semantics
Semantic web and XML
Mining of XML data 
XML change management
XML views and data mappings
Securing XML data
XML in new domains- sensor and biological data management
