XML offers an opportunity to unify how structured and semi-structured data is queried, updated, and stored. This has prompted a large industry focus on XML and its relevance to relational databases. A central unification point for academic and commercial research is in the W3C Schema and Query groups. In addition to the standards-based activities, several companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Software AG, and others are innovating at the product level, providing developers with a unified view of relational and XML data. At this keynote presentation, Dave Reed will overview where we are today, and what things might look like tomorrow. He will provide details on Microsoft's plans in the middle-tier and server, and the role Microsoft is playing in the XML and database standardization efforts.
