A Model and Queries for Databases Managing Structured Documents with Object Links

摘要

In this paper the authors propose a conceptual model and database internal representation for managing struc- tured documents using databases. They describe physical storage methods for how to break down and manage docu- ments and management methods using types other than character strings in a subdocument in an internal repre- sentation of a database of a structured document. In addi- tion, the authors propose a database model for structured documents with links at the object level between text strings in the document and semantic data(referred to herein as annotation data)in the database expressed by text strings as well as queries to such databases.
