XML has emerged as the de facto standard for data interchange on the web. The use of XML as a common format for representation, interchange, and transformation of data poses new challenges to programming languages, applications, and database systems.

During the last few years, the database research community has devoted a lot of attention to XML's data representation challenges, and the programming language research community is also beginning to address the challenges offered by XML.

The purpose of this course is to familiarise students with these new developments. Upon completion of this course the student should be able to

• identify and understand some of the major challenges offered by XML as seen from the database and programming language perspectives
• understand some of the solutions suggested by the research community to these challenges
