Problem Statement : with the xml-dom-rss repositories being vogue on the web viz. 3-tier architecture, while there are many a parsers to handle xml-dom-data ...ability to handle ( or treat) xml-dom-[rss] data repositories (feeds or streams) through a database interface ...either as synchronous or asychronous data steams. while there are many a programatic interfaces to handle the equivalent of sax(in java) in many a 3rd generation languages or at a bit higher level those that support OOP. Opportunity : Perl/java/c++/python/vb... support properitary to many 3rd party XML-DOM parsers Ability to handle XML-DOM-(RSS) repositories/feeds ...through a DBH(database handler ... MS context ado/rdo/dao ...) interface ...presuming or assuming a standardized parser as a DBD(database driver). Note: The above problem statement having been encountered in various scenarios and detailed in various 'Proof of concepts' as mentioned in 'http://uk.geocities.com/ravivenkatus/projects.pdf' ....apply appropriate 'use-case' modeling and arrive at a workable and feasible solution both commercially and techinically viable. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
