ABSTRACT	This paper argues that the research on semistructured data is receiving a new set of challenges with the advent of XML (Extensible Mark-up Language [Bos97, Con98]). This is a new standard approved by the World Wide Web Consortium that many believe will become the de facto data exchange format for the Web. XML supports the electronic exchange of machine-readable data (while HTML is designed primarily for human-readable documents). XML data shares many features of semistructured data: its structure can be irregular, is not always known ahead of time, and may change frequently and without notice. On the other hand it is easy to convert data from any source into XML which will make it attractive for organizations to "publish" their information sources in XML, and thus make them available to other XML applications on the Web. For XML applications to reach their full potential however, we need to build the right tools to process data in this new format. Existing Web tools (browsers, search engines) are oriented toward document operations . For XML we need database operations , like data extraction, data integration, data translation, data storage. The research done so far on semistructured data may offer some solutions to the database problems posed by XML. For example the recently proposed query language for XML, called XML-QL [DFF	user correction - Legacy Corrections
