What about databases and Lotus Notes
Web-linked databases look “just” like web pages and in fact using XML templates one can store DOM components in database and improve 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.
