Title
OSD-DB: a military logistics mobile database
Abstract
Government agencies and other organizations often have a huge quantity of data in need of digitization. In some cases, the data are represented on paper as tables with multilevel headers. Storing this data into relational tables probably necessitates a complex redesign of the data, through renaming of columns and/or normalization of the tables. To save this step, an XML data model can be used easily and naturally, but typical non-technical users still prefer to visualize data in the form of tables. We show in this paper how to transform and display XML data as HTML tables with multilevel headers, to preserve the original easy-to-read format while having a well defined schema, and describe how it can be used in concrete applications, focusing on a military logistics database.
