  • System and method for communicating with various electronic archive systems
    Patent number: 6345269
    Abstract: A system and method that communicates with archive systems that use various query languages. The system includes an interpreter, which receives an inquiry in a non-archive-system-specific form, converts the inquiry into an archive-system-specific form or allocates it to an archive-system-specific form and executes the inquiry in a selected archive system. Processing of the search results, management of the interface with the archive system and the pertinent administrative work is undertaken by the interpreter. The knowledge required of a user regarding the individual archive systems is reduced to a minimum. The various interfaces of the interpreter make it possible to use source code for different archive systems with few modifications.
