Foil 11 5.Example Commercial Web-linked Database: MOREplus

From Master Set of Foils for 1996 Session of CPS615 NHSE Review Argonne -- September 30 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski


One example of using existing commercial solution, recently evaluated by NHSE,is the MOREplus package from MountainNet, Inc.
MOREplus is commercial version of MORE (Multimedia-Oriented Reuse Environment) software by Johnson Space Center and University of Houston, Clear Lake.
MOREplus offers support for building repositories of high value information assets (such as software, best practice descriptions, metrics data etc.)
There are several similarities between the overall organization and user interface in RIB and MOREplus packages.
Differences include:
  • Oracle database support in MOREplus
  • Implementation language: MOREplus is C based with rather old-fashioned proC Oracle binding
  • Data/information model of MOREplus is more generic than RIB, i.e. it is consistent with but not restricted to RIB BIDM)
