Hello all, I am currently a graduate student in Information Science at the University of NC at Chapel Hill. I just starting using Xindice and really think it's a great tool. Bravo for the Apache XML project! For a user interface course I'm in this semester, I am planning to build a prototype for a gui-based content management system that sits on top of the Xindice database. I need some users though to answer a few questions...as there obviously aren't a plethora of ppl at the university that have ever used a native XML database :)
So, if you have a few seconds in your day for a lowly grad student, it would be great if you could answer 7 questions about how you decided to use a native XML database...Either fill answers out at this url: http://www.questionbuilder.com/html/styles/corporate.shtml?cqmid=2659 or respond directly to me with answers to the questions below. I would greatly appreciate it and I swear I won't clog up the user list again! Additionally, the results of the survey will not be used for any commercial purposes. They are primarily for me to get a feel of what features would be appropriate for a GUI that works with Xindice. Cheers, Susan former java developer, current grad student QUESTIONS: Name 2-3 reasons why you chose to use a native XML database? Do you find a command line interface difficult to use with a native XML database? Would you prefer to use a GUI based interface for database management (i.e., a content management system that sits on the Xindice database)? Do you currently use a content management tool or database management tool for organizing and managing XML documents? If so, which tools do you use? List 3-4 tasks you do on a daily basis with the Xindice database.
