Evaluation of XML Schema Support in Knowledge Management

Abstract

Well organized data contributes extensively to the classification possibilities and quality of Knowledge Management. XML schemas play an important role in data organization activities, and provide basic foundations for companies and organizations dealing with large amounts of data. In times where knowledge represents the greatest advantage in a competitive economy and is relatively simple to find through different web providers, the quality of internal data structures and efficient management of a company’s valuable information is of the utmost importance.

A good XML schema support is a way to increase the competitiveness of an organization by ensuring structured data quality and simplifying the Knowledge Management process.
