documents. Metacat models the structure of the XML document, therefore |
| 22 | 22 |
allowing storage of XML documents with arbitrary schemas. The current |
| 23 | 23 |
implementation stores data in a backend Oracle RDBMS, but was designed |
| 24 | 24 |
to support other RDBMS systems as well. The server supports XML document |
| 25 | 25 |
storage, retrievel, query, validation, and transformation (using the XSLT |
| 26 | 26 |
stylesheet language). In addition, there is a mechanism for replicating |
| 27 |
the database to other metacat instances for backup and load balancing

purposes. Metacat currently uses an LDAP database for authenticating |
| 29 | 29 |
users, but was written to accomodate other authentication services as well. |
