Why the WORLD needs a new DBMSconcept

n Existing DBMSn cannot manage new WEB data types efficientlyn cannot be replaced due to huge investments maden cannot be quickly integrated with Electronic Business

processes without extensive programmingn New DBMSnmust support new WEB data “natively” to ensure high

performance and low programming effortnmust use self-describing data to facilitate constant

addition of new data types into the applicationnmust allow easy information transformation and

exchange
