14:00-15:10 Invited Talk: XML research midflight by Yannis Papakonstantinou

Abstract: XML emerged 10 years ago as the flexible standard for information exchange and representation. The database research community had presciently already produced related works on semistructured data models and proceeded to generate multiple research contributions in the field, influencing along the way standards and industrial products. Since then much of the XML future has arrived: complex standards (notably XQuery) emerged, first industrial systems have been released. Naturally XML research changes gears. We will discuss successes, failures, open issues and provide thoughts on what is needed to make XML research even more effective.
