Create an XML data model from a list of questions?
Hi Folks,
Suppose you want to create a data model about restaurants. One approach is to create a list of questions that people typically want answered when searching for a restaurant:
1. Where is the restaurant?
2. What type of food do they serve?
3. How much does it cost?
4. When are they open?
5. How to contact them?
A direct mapping from question-to-XML yields:
<Restaurants>
<Restaurant>
<Where-is-the-restaurant>...</Where-is-the-restaurant>
<What-type-of-food-do-they-serve>...</What-type-of-food-do-they-serve>
<How-much-does-it-cost>...</How-much-does-it-cost>
<When-are-they-open>...</When-are-they-open>
<How-to-contact-them>...</How-to-contact-them>
</Restaurant>
...
</Restaurants>
Is that a reasonable approach to creating some data models - create a list of questions that users typically want answered and then directly map the questions to element names? Have you ever followed this approach? Advantages/disadvantages?
