| Abstract | Extensive usage of XML for information exchange and data processing has led to the development of standard languages for querying and publishing of XML data. However, a key problem in XML data management is the absence of a standard language to update XML. As a result, updates are carried out in a mostly ad-hoc fashion at the application level by writing code to modify tree-based structures representing XML documents in memory. So far very little research has been conducted on language-based updates and their impact on XML processing. In this paper we present UpdateX, our implementation of a declarative update language that can be used to directly update XML data using queries. Our update language is based on XQuery 1.0, W3C’s XML query language, and seamlessly integrates with all of its constructs and capabilities. We describe the user-level syntax of our update language and present a framework for its implementation. The UpdateX prototype, which has been implemented on top of the Galax XQuery 1.0 processor, is fully functional and its source code distribution is publicly available on the Web. |
