ZapNote: NeoCore

By Ronald Schmelzer ⋅ April 15, 2002 ⋅ Post a comment

Rather than being forced to map XML documents to an alternate data representation format or insert an entire XML document into a single field as is the case with XML-enabled RDBMS, the Native XML Data Store (NXD) can accept XML documents for storage and retrieval without any modifications, mapping, or transformations. NeoCore provides a patented NXD approach that assigns a unique fingerprint called an "icon" to each XML document and then applies hashing and storage techniques to these iconic representations. This approach allows the user to experience speed and indexing improvements over other methods of XML storage and retrieval and exploits XML structure by self-constructing the data store, reducing development time.

XML Data Storage Technologies & Trends

While file systems, relational, and object-oriented database management systems have met our needs in prior years for data storage and retrieval, XML imposes new requirements on how that information needs to be stored so that it can be retrieved in a structured, hierarchical manner. This ZapThink report, “XML Data Storage Technologies and Trends” covers the various commercial options that focus on meeting the requirements for XML storage and retrieval, and identifies benefits, disadvantages, key market drivers, and sizing and growth of the market for these products.

The increasing use of XML is necessitating a general storage and retrieval system that can handle the specific needs of XML document archival. Infonyte provides a Native XML Data store (NXD) solution that is a compact called Infonyte-DB that uses a persistent implementation of the Document Object Model (DOM) as its primary storage mechanism.
