This paper presents an approach to create a XML-based Syllabus repository for Computer Science subjects. It facilitates educators and experts to create, store, update and publish a syllabus for a particular subject. The objective of the research is to contribute to automate the Computer Science syllabus creation process allowing use, reuse and repurpose of the learning objects from the repository. The Syllabus learning objects like topic and subtopic are stored in a hierarchical XML structure which are combined and aggregated to create a customized syllabus for a particular subject. This paper discussing the Structuring, Navigating and Parsing of XML data done by using XML Schema Definitions (XSD), XPath and SimpleXML respective XML technologies. The steps to process the XML data and transform the data to produce the output is also discussed. We have tried to solve the issues associated with the traditional method of creating a syllabus which uses MS-Word or PDF data format.
