<P>The Metacat Server stores arbitrary XML
|
| 30 |
|
|
documents in a relational
|
| 31 |
|
|
database without foreknowledge of the document schema. It does this by implementing
|
| 32 |
|
|
the DOM within the table structure of the relational database.
|
| 33 |
|
|
Metacat also performs optimized free-text
|
| 34 |
878
|
berkley
|
and structured
|
| 35 |
881
|
berkley
|
searches across the entire document collection. Metacat provides
|
| 36 |
|
|
standardized interfaces to client software for document processing, storing
|
| 37 |
878
|
berkley
|
and searching.
