Architecture of a content management server for XML document applications

Abstract

Describes the data model that is used to implement the SIM content management server (CMS), an SGML/XML-native content server that is designed to support extremely fast data access to and dynamic updating of 100-GByte collections under high loads. This paper describes the requirements for supporting text-intensive applications and for building XML/SGML document management solutions. The SIM CMS employs a data model that is designed to directly support SGML and XML; this model is described, and a comparison with other models based on general-purpose database management systems is made.
