Abstract

In this paper, we present a method for representing the history of XML documents using Multidimensional XML (MXML). We demonstrate how a set of basic change operations on XML documents can be represented in MXML, and show that temporal XML snapshots can be obtained from MXML representations of XML histories. We also argue that our model is capable to represent changes not only in an XML document but to the corresponding XML Schema document as well.
