  • Method of encapsulating information in a database, an encapsulated database for use in a communication system and a method by which a database mediates an instant message in the system
    Publication number: 20070011193
    Abstract: In a method of encapsulating information in a database, a message may be partitioned into a plurality of object class entries within the database. Each of the object class entries may constitute a portion of an object class from a plurality of object classes having a given hierarchy within the database. One or more pointers may be generated; the pointers point to at least one of the plurality of object class entries. The object class entries may be stored in non-adjacent storage locations within the database, with at least one of the plurality of object class entries stored in association with the generated at least one pointer such that the at least one pointer points to a higher-level object class entry, as determined by the object class hierarchy, than the at least one object class entry stored in association with the pointer.
