Problem statement :   Any Database is a information warehouse for a enterprise,

                      with most of its data in the database,  documenting relation-ship's or organization-structure
                      of the data is a mamoth task.

                      while the there have been and there are tools available that pictorially represent the
                      relation-ship's(primary-key, foriegn-key's) between various entities (various elements or
                      objects viz. tables, views ...etc) comprising a database.

                      Given that as the entities or elements in a database grow ...ability to visualize the organization
                      schema of data in a database ...and ability to interpret relation-ship's and dependencies between
                      various entities becomes tedious ...as the database or information-ware-house age's, as also
                      as it changes the various hands (people,organizations or entities ...managing the database of
                      the enterprise ...change , as also the intended or envisaged purposes of the data over-time).


Opportunity :  Ability to mine the above (as defined in the problem statement) ...and store or translate the 
               META-DATA(data-about-data ....various dependencies ...with-in and among the data of database) into
               a parsable or interpertable XML name-space schema.

               The above offer's scope for better understanding , visualization (pictorial-representation) and 
               interpretation of the data,entities comprising a database.

               eg: ability to observe or study data in micro-scopic view's ...in sub-sets, ability to traverse and understand
                   the relations-ship's between entities of the database , ability to do a top-down or bottom-up approach or
                   drill-down on how a entity is related to other entities in a databse, while understanding the dependency 
                   structures between the data. 


               Tools like XML-notepad, other XML-namespace-schema-document-interpreters, visual-GUI-tools like sanpoint-control
               (a visual examiner or data and entities comprising a SAN-fabric ...a product from Veritas software ...rendered
                using java/flash as a applet/standalone application) a management frame-work of a SAN-fabric, essetentially enabiling
                pictorial visualization and manipulation of a XML-data(loosely typed XML-document) i.e. WYSIWYG ineterface to XML
                data and xml-document manipulation. 



Objective:  Caputure the relationships between and among data (various elements,entities) comprising a database
            into a XML-namespace-schema i.e. a XML document (given the context a loosely typed)  ....thus giving or translating
            into query of the meta-data(relationships between the data) in more effective or comprehendible manner

            i.e. provide's or arms with the ability to 'ETL' the meta-data of the data in a database and pictorial do a UML of the
                 meta-data.


            Summerised the ability to extract information from a DWH(a data-ware-house/database) and document or represent it in
            in a summerized or concise format viz. XML-namespace-shema.
