AN ARCHITECTURE FOR INTEGRATING OODBS WITH WWW

The main topic of this paper is how to structure information so that t he view of the web, both within and across web pages, is dynamically c ustomizable. We present an architecture that integrates Object-Oriente d Databases with the World Wide Web to organize such dynamic structure s. Different users, or the same user at different times, could have di fferent views of the web. We discuss several architectural variants an d implementation issues. Our chosen architecture provides high flexibi lity for a wide variety of applications, ranging from managed healthca re to software development environments, and has been realized in the dkweb system.
