In many ways the move to unstructured and semi-structured [XML] databases is based on a reaction to high level of rigidity in [PostRelationalDataBase]s and a return some of the aspects of [HierarchicalDataBase]s, with the [XML] tree structured document in the place of the hierarchy. In theory [XML] [Schema]s can be used to reason about the structure of [XMLDataBase]s, but experiance tells use that most users are unwilling to check for well-formedness, let alone [validity|Valid]. |
