  • Patent number: 7426506
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for data storage and retrieval in which data is stored in a file storage system and keywords are associated with the data. The keywords include parameters of the data and associated values for the parameters. The keywords are collected together in indexes of the data, and various methods are used on the keywords or the indexes of keywords. These methods include index creation methods, searching methods, and data conversion methods.

  • Patent number: 6981002
    Abstract: Data storage and retrieval methods are described in which data is stored in records within a docubase, and desired records are identified and/or selected by searching index files which map search criteria into appropriate records. Each index file includes a header with header entries and a body with body entries. Each header entry comprises a header-to-body pointer which points to a location in the body of the same index file which is the starting point of the body entries related to the header-to-body pointer pointing thereto. The body entries in turn comprise body-to-record-pointers which point to the records within the docubase satisfying the search criteria. Alternatively, the body entries may comprise body-to-body pointers which point to body entries in a second index file, which in turn point to the records within the docubase satisfying the search criteria. The records are stored in HTML format.

  • Patent number: 6654737
    Abstract: A database which consists of HTML, XML or other standard-format, hypertext documents is disclosed. For each “record” in the database there is a master document and multiple related documents, called “view documents.” The view documents are related to the master document and may have a subset of the data of the master document. The view documents are generally created at the same time as the master document. The master document and view documents are revised by the DBMS together. The view documents are based upon pre-defined templates. The view documents provide alternative views of the data in the master document, and may be tailored to the user or class of user. Thus, each “record” in the database is actually one or more files. The “database” is formed from a directory tree of these files, structured in a pre-defined and controlled manner.
