Database Models for Textual Documents: User Needs and System Capabilities

  • Chapter
Database and Expert Systems Applications

  • 116 Accesses

Abstract

Users’ needs in large and complex textbases are itemised and discussed in the light of current models. Examples applying relational and semantic models, such as the E-R and Taxis, suggest criteria for a more fundamental approach involving the merger of object-oriented programming techniques with database methods in future complex object textbases. Current object-oriented database systems have a number of significant weaknesses which need to be remedied before they can be adopted for textual document applications.
