| 20110106859 | Database Schema - We propose an innovative approach to an XML structure in which the XML Schema can be subject to user-driven variation. This could be achieved via a file indexing system for recording attributes of a plurality of files, comprising an XML document, an associated XML schema, defining the attributes of the files that are to be recorded in the XML document, a parser for interpreting the XML document under the control of the schema, and a user interface for presenting the output of the parser to a user, said output comprising a plurality of metadata tags and respective content associated with said metadata tags, and for accepting user instructions editing said output, wherein the user interface is arranged to accept instructions defining a new metadata tag that is absent from the schema and content for said new metadata tag, and to amend the schema automatically so as to introduce the new metadata tag. The fact that the user is editing an XML schema is ideally something that is hidden from the user. All amendments should be subject to an enforced compliance with an overall information model. Where the XML schema exists in several locations on the same network, other instances of the schema can inherit additional tags from an updated XML schema on the same network. The overall information model should enforce that the XML schema can only be added to; existing tags cannot be deleted by a user. | 05-05-2011 |
