Abstract:	The self-describing nature of data marked up using extensible markup language (XML) allows the XML document itself to act in a manner similar to a database, but without the large file sizes and proprietary software generally associated with database applications. XML data can be made directly available to users using a variety of methods. This paper explores methods for both server-side and client-side processing and display of XML-encoded data, using an annotated bibliography as an example.
