Un tour d'horizon des approches pour la manipulation des données du web

Abstract

The transition to the web 2.0 has reinforced the principle which states that data should be separated from their presentations. In the same time, the number of XML document formats on the web has greatly evolved. Databases are also often used for the functioning of websites. These findings imply the need to implement tools and approaches dedicated to the manipulation of data on the web. Some of these approaches work directly on the data, while others are based upon the schema of these data. The Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) also allows the manipulation of web data. In this paper, we compare and contrast the different major techniques for data manipulation in order to highlight the pros and cons of these methods for the problem of web data. © 2008 Lavoisier.
