Foil 74 What about databases and Lotus Notes

From The Document Object Model - Universal Access - Other Objects - CORBA XML Jini JavaScript etc. Tango Seminar to DoD Modernization MSRC -- April 6 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Web-linked databases look "just" like web pages and in fact using XML templates one can store DOM components in database and improve representation of object structure of pages
  • Each bullet of this slide is a separate record etc.
  • XML is natural serialization of a database and correspondingly databases, not web servers are natural place to store XML documents
On the other hand, current Lotus Notes supports a web client but does not naturally integrate with other web resources
  • It provides its own isolated world which is not so satisfactory
  • Instead one should use technologies that add value to a dominant world wide web.
