Abstract

One of the main component of integrated office systems is the large central filing system. It efficiently stores, retrieves and searches office documents containing text, images, graphics, data and voice. We propose to implement a filing system on top of the Darmstadt database system (DASDBS), which is designed as a data management kernel for both standard and non-standard applications. This paper investigates the choice of appropriate storage structures for the filing system objects and the realization of the system by using the kernel. Furthermore we discuss the efficient retrieval support of office objects by signatures and introduce a new archival approach by using storage media like optical disks.
