Practical Training XML
Summer Term 2018
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang May
Lars Runge, M.Sc.,
Sebastian Schrage, M.Sc.
The course yields 6 ECTS-credits; it is graded (=benotet)
Prerequisites:
- Successful participation in the module "Semistructured Data and
XML",
- Successful participation in the "General
Programming Lab/Allgemeines Programmierpraktikum" (or an equivalent course).
Course Description
The practical training builds upon the lecture
Semistructured Data and XML.
The training uses the concepts of the XML world:
DTD, XPath, XQuery, XSLT, XLink, XML Schema, SQL/XML, XML APIs for Java (SAX, DOM, JAXB),
and Web Service infrastructure (Apache Tomcat).
- The first part of the course uses the geographical sample database "Mondial"
in its XML version.
-
The second part is intended to be carried out in a project-style
(topics to be discussed: application scenario using Web Services, Java and XML;
RDF/XML, ...)
Documentation: use the slides from the
SSD/XML lecture (the full slide set can be found
here;
Sections 1-8 were the material of the lecture, the rest is intended for the
practical course) and the W3C documentation linked below. For practical
exercises, the XML software is installed in the IFI CIP Pool. Short
descriptions of the software to be used can be found here.
The course takes place in groups of 3-4 persons. There are probably
5 units: XPath/XQuery, XSLT (based on the material of the WS 17/18 lecture),
XML and Java I (DOM/SAX/StAX), XML and Java II (JAXB and Digester), and
Web Services. For every unit, there is an exercise sheet which will be
discussed with one of the supervisors.
Prospective Time Schedule
Part I: Review of basics, concepts and languages around XML that should be known from the
XML lecture.
Part II:
