Abstract

In a method for constructing Internet protocol (IP) addresses using extensible markup language (XML), an XML schema associated with a predetermined type of Internet address schemes is defined using a universal description standard. The XML schema includes attribute elements covering core attributes of constructing the Internet address schemes. The attribute elements include: construct_method, representing a function constructing method for the Internet address schemes, which is an enumeration type stored in a function association table. The function association table stores a collection of function constructing methods and a collection of functions for constructing the Internet address schemes, each of which is associated with a corresponding function constructing method. Then, values of the attribute elements for constructing the Internet address schemes are input. Next, the values are resolved and the corresponding function is called to construct the Internet address schemes according to the values.
