Title: Reconsidering text retrieval: accessing semi-structured text through an object oriented query language

Abstract: This thesis considers OSQL, an object-oriented database query language, as a model for integrating database functions and text retrieval. The potential for such a model to support compound documents of dynamic text and non-textual data, as well as to provide access to heterogeneous collections is evaluated. Contrasts with the features and characteristics of more traditional models of Text Retrieval provide benchmarks against which this alternative is measured. A case study, Promenade, a World Wide Web image database, serves as a reference model and demonstration of concept.
