An approach to convert object oriented database into XML

XML (eXtended Markup Language) has been widely used as the universal format for publishing and exchanging data in World Wide Web, due to its capability to support flexible representations of data. For that, the importance of transforming other data sources, such as Object Oriented Data Base (OODB) and Relational Database to XML, has increased. The goal of this paper is to develop an efficient method to transform OODB to XML that can be used by wide range of end-users who don´t have to be specialists. Although the paper presents no novel approach, but it is mainly concerned with developing rule based methodology to convert OODB schema to XML schema.
