Abstract

Web Information Systems (WISs) embody a core technology for all larger enterprises. WISs are employed in an intranet or extranet for internal information interchange or communication between associated companies. However, operating and maintaining a WIS means dealing with several problems, e. g., stressing human and computational resources or keeping documents and index data topical. In this paper, we discuss how the emerging object-relational database systems (ORDBS) and XML (Extensible Markup Language) can be used to eliminate resp. reduce these problems as well as to achieve an effective internal information exchange. This approach of automating maintenance as well as provision of Web documents is also denoted as Web Content Management (WCM). The resulting advantages indicate that, by combining location and platform independence together with automatic maintenance and distribution of information, a kernel technology is maturing for the communication and cooperation in technical information systems or, generally, in distributed applications.
