The main goal of this unit is to introduce the students to structured documents based on the XML (eXtended Markup Language) formalism and its processing.
The objectives of this unit include knowledge of concepts and basic norms, as well as languages related to the several facets of structured document processing, such as: typing, graphical formatting, transformation and semantics. Data manipulation in XML format from programs and web service implementation for communication among heterogeneous systems is also addressed.
On conclusion of this unit the students will know: when to use XML, how to define types of documents for a given application; how to convert instances of these types in other documents, in particular for graphical formatting; how to associate metadata to documents and to define metadata domains; to select select the appropriate API for a given kind of XML processing; to identify the main XML languages related to web services.
1. The essential on XML
* Examples
* Historical retrospective
* Basic concepts
* Uses of XML
* XML Software
* W3C - World Wide Web Consortium
2. Basic XML norms
* Design goals
* Data model
* Name spaces
* Linking and pointers
* Modularity
3. Type definition languages
* DTD - Document type definition
* XSD - XML Schema definition language
* Other type definition languages
4. Transformation and visualization
* XPath - path based expressions
* XSLT - document transformation
* XSLfo - formatting objects
5. Semantic of documents
* Semantic Web
* RDF - resource Description Framework
* RDFS - modelling Resource Descriptions
* OWL - ontologies for the web
6. Application's Interfaces
* SAX - parsing using events
* DOM - manipulation in memory
* TrAX - transforming documents
Theoretical classes use the lecture method to presented an organized view of the program, including examples of the use of different technologies.
Practical classes are based on exercises to consolidate the concepts presented in lectures.
The tests are multiple choice, with a duration of less than 1 / 2 hour and are held in computer labs at the beginning of practical classes in accordance with the schedule of the course.

Students who have participated in at least two (2) out of four (3) tests and two (2) out of three(3) assignmentswill be considered as having attended the course.
The course evaluation is distributed without final exam, consisting of three (3) written tests and three (3) assignments.
The first theoretical test contributes with two and a half (2.5) points to the final grade, and each of the remaining tests with five (5) points. Each assignement contributes with two and a half (2.5) points to the final grade..
Students who, by law, are exempted from the presence in classes and students who justify their absence can perform any evaluation in a different date.
