Abstract
In 1999, Software AG released the first version of its native XML server Tamino [276, 274, 275], which includes a native XML database. The term native has become popular since then, being used with differing meanings. While some sources, e.g. [10], define a native XML database system only by its appearance to the user (“Defines a (logical) model for an XML document ... and stores and retrieves documents according to that model. ... For example, it can be built on a relational, hierarchical, or object-oriented database ...”), Software AG takes the definition further by requiring that a native XML database system has been built and designed for the handling of XML, and is not just a database system for an arbitrary data model with an XML layer on top.
