Public XML databases?

[Bren]

Does anyone know of any public XML databases that would provide a good dataset for an XML database application? Ideally something that lists books (titles, authors, price, ISBN, etc), movies, songs, etc? Anything that would return an XML database in a text file, or even SOAP, would be great.

Have you looked at some of the XML Database Benchmarks around? Some have data generators that you could use to configure your own data set. There are five main XML database benchmarks:

Michigan Benchmark:

XBench Family of Benchmarks:

XMach-1 Benchmark:

XMark Benchmark:

Maybe "Amazon Web Services" is the thing you are looking for:
