A framework for processing complex document-centric XML with overlapping structures

The key of overlapping structures or concurrent markup hierarchies in XML encodings of documents is that markup in one hierarchy is not necessarily well-formed with respect to the markup in another hierarchy. Previously proposed solutions to this problem rely on the XML expertise of humans and their ability to maintain correct schemas for complex markup languages. We demonstrate a solution for management of complex, multihierarchical document-centric XML. Our framework includes software for storing, parsing, in-memory access, editing and querying, multihierarchical XML documents with conflicting structures.
