A system and method are disclosed to efficiently arbitrate access contention on a XML data between a plurality of users. A system for controlling access to XML data, includes a management section for managing holders of exclusive access rights of corresponding partial data for each of at least one partial data included in the XML data. A delegation section changes the holder of a second exclusive access right on second partial data, which is a part of first partial data, from a first holder to a second holder in order to delegate a part of a first exclusive access right held by the first holder on the first partial data. An access control section inhibits access to the second partial data from the first holder and permits access to the second partial data from the second holder on condition that the first exclusive access right is delegated.
