• XML:DB Initiative
  SMB GmbH; dbXML Group L.L.C; OpenHealth Care Group
  Databases tailored for the storage of XML data represent an exciting new opportunity for improvement in the storage and manipulation of data and metadata. Since XML databases are a new technology there has been up to this point no concerted effort to develop standards specifically for the market. This lack of standards inevitably increases the learning curve for employees, prevents product interoperability and ultimately slows the adoption of the products in the market place. To address these issues a decision was made to start the XML:DB initiative.
