Summary: Panel challenging whether dedicated XML databases are necessary, versus relational, object-oriented, or information-retrieval extensions. Highlights unsettled XML data/query standards, absent benchmarks, killer applications, and the risk that native XML DBs repeat OODB’s failed market bid. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
