Nowadays, \u00a0swirling \u00a0around \u00a0most \u00a0businesses \u00a0is \u00a0not \u00a0structure \u00a0information \u00a0but \u00a0semi-structure
information, such as spreadsheets, and documents created by an individual or company. However, in spite of
success \u00a0of \u00a0data \u00a0management \u00a0of \u00a0structure \u00a0data \u00a0by \u00a0using \u00a0databases, \u00a0current \u00a0enterprise \u00a0information
infrastructure \u00a0is \u00a0poorly \u00a0suited \u00a0for \u00a0dealing \u00a0with \u00a0the \u00a0continuing, \u00a0rapid \u00a0explosion \u00a0of \u00a0semi-structure \u00a0data \u00a0in
enterprise. \u00a0In \u00a0this \u00a0paper \u00a0we \u00a0discuss \u00a0a \u00a0system \u00a0based \u00a0on \u00a0the \u00a0integration \u00a0between \u00a0XML \u00a0and \u00a0RDB \u00a0in \u00a0a \u00a0three-
tiered framework, which undertakes research at the intersection of XML and RDB, exploits their strengths in
a \u00a0common \u00a0framework, \u00a0and \u00a0expands \u00a0their \u00a0applicability \u00a0in \u00a0the \u00a0area \u00a0of \u00a0semi-structure \u00a0data \u00a0management.
Through a discussion of the fundamental architecture in general and its components in particular, we depict
the basic principles that should form the basis for the design of the architecture based on the integration of
XML \u00a0and \u00a0RDB. \u00a0The \u00a0key \u00a0contribution \u00a0of \u00a0this \u00a0paper \u00a0is \u00a0the \u00a0framework \u00a0for \u00a0semi-structure \u00a0data \u00a0management,
which \u00a0is \u00a0orchestrated through \u00a0the \u00a0transformation \u00a0of \u00a0representation, \u00a0query \u00a0and \u00a0updating \u00a0between \u00a0XML \u00a0data
and RDB data.
