Abstract

Nowadays, XML has become the standard for representing and exchanging data over the Web and several approaches have been proposed for efficiently managing, storing, querying and representing XML data originating from diverse and often heterogeneous sources. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is a promising technology for XML data storage and retrieval since it facilitates access to information organized under a variety of frameworks and applications. As an open, vendor-neutral standard, LDAP provides an extendable architecture for centralized storage and management of information that needs to be available for today’s distributed systems and services. The similarities between XML and LDAP data representation have led to the idea of processing XML data within the LDAP framework. This chapter focuses on the topic of LDAP and XML integration with emphasis on the storage and retrieval approaches implemented so far. Moreover, the chapter includes an overview and survey of the theoretical background and the adopted practices as realized in the most popular and emerging frameworks which tune XML and LDAP.
