Storing and Querying Multimedia Presentations from XML Documents

Goal The goal of this project is to develop a metadata based data model for Web resources for effective and efficient querying. We also investigate the issues involved in adding a native score management system to object-relational databases, to be used in querying web metadata (that describes the semantic content of web resources).
