Abstract

Extending the usability of merged database and text-retrieval systems by building on an object-oriented database management system (OODBMS) can offer better and complementary advantages to both database and information retrieval systems (IRS). In this paper, we present a new approach for integrating OODBMSs and IRSs that maintains the flexibility and avoids overheads of mapping process, by means of wrapping the documents and encapsulating signature based IR methods into storable objects which are being stored in the database. In particular, we demonstrate how to apply such an integration approach to a special problem domain: a multi-lingual information retrieval system. In our framework, a sound platform and query facilities offered by the underlying object-oriented database can further enhance the original IR functions and be applicable to the construction of multimedia-document based digital libraries.
