Native XML Database for Contents Management Offering High Performance and Reliability

摘要

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is emerging as a major new standard for representing data on the World Wide Web. Several XML database systems have been proposed for storing XML documents in different data models. Toshiba has developed a native XML database, for which XML documents are not required to have an associated schema or document type definition. The database is not a retrieval-oriented XML engine to achieve high-speed performance; rather, it provides the optimal balance of speed, size, functionality, and reliability. It can therefore be applied to various document-centric applications from document management to network system applications.
