XML Document Versioning and Revalidation?

Abstract. One of the prominent characteristics of XML applications is their dynamic nature. When a system grows and evolves, old user require-ments change and/or new requirements accumulate. Apart from changes in the interface, it is also necessary to modify the existing documents with each new version, so they are valid against the new specification. The approach presented in this work extends an existing conceptual model with the support for multiple versions of the model. Thanks to this ex-tension, it is possible to define a set of changes between two versions of a schema. This work contains an outline of an algorithm that compares two versions of a schema and produces a revalidation script in XSL
