Personal Project

Topic Modeling and Presenting Data from a Publication Objectives –Using XML related techniques to model and present data from a publication (e.g. a placard, brochure content, leaflet, and others) –Allow students to implement related XML-based techniques in constructing an XML-application –To understand the importance of data unification when data resources are different

Topic Modeling and Presenting Data from a Publication Important dates –Week – 8 (project should be finished by the end of this week, 4/10) –Week – 9 (maybe 4/11 or 4/12, will be announced on 4/1 and the web) Project submitting and presenting date What you should submit? –XML documents (schema or DTD, 2 XML documents) –Programming codes and application –Project paper ( see slides #7 )

Topic Modeling and Presenting Data from a Publication What you should do to complete the project 1.Modeling data items from the target paper ( the paper will be given) 2.Design the schema (or DTD if you like) to define the document structure and corresponding rules for the data items inside the publication 3.Write 2 XML documents that conforms to your schema or DTD, 4.Design an XML application (web-based, called presenter) that can extract and present the data embedded in the XML documents a)The presenter must be in GUI (Graphic User Interface) and web- based formats b)Allow the client to select 1 of the 3 XML documents to be presented

Topic Modeling and Presenting Data from a Publication What you should do to complete the project (cont.) c)The presenting web page should allow client users to key in personal information and make some changes to the XML documents (e.g. title) 5.The presenter should be able to collect information input by the client users and create a corresponding XML document (do not overwrite the original 2 XML documents) 6.Presenting the created XML document responding the changes that have been made by the clients

Topic Modeling and Presenting Data from a Publication What content should you contain in your paper? –Title & author –abstract –Project introduction (including the purpose of this project and related XML techniques applied in the project) –Data resource description –How to model the data items in the resource? (in your own case, not in general) –Your design architecture –Your design process –conclusion
