Abstract

We study the transformation and preservation of XML referential integrity constraints in XML data transformation for integration purposes in this paper. In transformation and preservation, we consider XML inclusion dependency and XML foreign key. We show how XML referential constraints should be transformed and preserved using important transformation operations with sufficient conditions.
