Abstract
The XML dataset is commonly used as the metadata of academic papers. On the other hand, researchers write papers with MS-Word or LaTeX, and in Japan the defacto standard metadata format is the "BIB" for J-STAGE, not XML. Various typesetting data format is used on the submission process and on production process, except XML. For these reason it was thought that operating the XML metadata is very hard for academic papers in Japanese journals. In this paper we discus about the effcity of the method for handling the metadata with various data format constructing by abstract data model mapping to the XML element to the RDB ?eld and introduce its application.
