XML is the standard format for data exchange between inter-enterprise applications on the Internet. To facilitate data ex-change, industry groups define public document type that specify the format of the XML data to be exchanged between their appli-cations. In this paper, we propose a new method to solve the prob-lem of automating the conversion of relational data into XML. During the conversion, we considers not only the structure of rela-tional schemas, but also semantic constraints such as inclusion dependencies during the translation—it takes as input a relational schema where multiple tables are interconnected through inclusion dependencies and converts it into an X- Schema. Finally, in order to validate our proposal, we present experimental results using real schemas.
