我们描述了一个集合的文档表示的XML兼容的语言,如CML和XHTML可以进行身份验证和验证数字签名,利用已建立的X.509证书技术。这些可以与XML文档中的特定节点或整个文档相关联。我们用两个例子来说明这一点。用XML表示的整篇期刊文章的各个部分都由不同的作者进行数字签名,集合放在信封中并再次签名。第二个示例涉及使用软件机器人代理从指定的URL获取文档集合,对内容执行各种操作和转换,包括用CML表达分子,并自动对各种组件进行签名并将结果存款存储库。我们认为,这些操作可以用来作为组件,我们所谓的认证和语义化学信任网的建设。
We describe how a collection of documents expressed in XML-conforming languages such as CML and XHTML can be authenticated and validated against digital signatures which make use of established X.509 certificate technology. These can be associated either with specific nodes in the XML document or with the entire document. We illustrate this with two examples. An entire journal article expressed in XML has its individual components digitally signed by separate authors, and the collection is placed in an envelope and again signed. The second example involves using a software robot agent to acquire a collection of documents from a specified URL, to perform various operations and transformations on the content, including expressing molecules in CML, and to automatically sign the various components and deposit the result in a repository. We argue that these operations can used as components for building what we term an authenticated and semantic chemical web of trust.
