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:
