digital libraries and xml

[Wanda K. Gunther]

Hello, This is being posted to several listservs.  Please forgive any 
duplications.

We are Information Science students at the University of North Carolina 
at Chapel Hill.  My project partner and I are doing a Current Issues 
project for our Database II course on the impact of XML on Digital 
Libraries.  Please take a moment to respond to the following questions 
before 2/21.
 
1)  Is your Digital Library stored in a database such as Access, SQL, 
or Oracle (please name the database used)?
 
 
2)  What format is used for your public access pages (HTML, SGML, XML)?
 
 
3)  If you are not using XML, have you looked into using it for your 
digital library?
 
 
4)  If you have looked into XML, do you think that XML is the future 
for databases (i.e. will it solve current problems such as search 
engines and indexing of the site)?
 
 
 
Thanks so much for your time.
 
Wanda Gunther and Abby Auman
