THETIS: Design Considerations

Index/Search: use of Dienst (DL search engine)


Discover resources (keywords, geographic location, time, by name)
Management of Metadata (FGDC standard, varying #of search fields)
Distributed Indexing/Search (strings(multilingual),numbers)
Querying:use of Le Select (DB Integration engine)
Mediation (data files, image database,documents,programs)
JDBC access
Data Transformations, integration and manipulation
SQL

queries
Wrapping of repositories
Light Weight Workflow: Interactive (via index)
