<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
|
and structured
|
|
35
|
searches across the entire document collection. Metacat provides
|
|
36
|
standardized interfaces to client software for document processing, storing
|
|
37
|
and searching.
