Rubbish. Our original plan was to use one of three
databases to store the articles in. Now it seems the
popular consensus is to go with a repository of XML
files, and thats what we will do. We'll use an SQL
database to index them, which will leave plenty of
scope for classification changes, and XML files to
store the articles themselves. And at least we've done
more than to mention the name of the technology used;
we've done a full research into exactly how to do it
(ie what fields to use, what scripting to do, how it
should be done best, so that anyone could look at it
and set it all up without worrying about details!).
