( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Gah! I hate it when people post intelligently but do so anonymously. It suggests to me that they're not going to hang around the monastery. I certainly hope you do.

Actually, last night I was doing quite a bit of thinking (and reading) about this problem and using a database seemed to be one of two solutions. Actually, a multi-value database like UniData would be awesome (it would handle lists very easily), but I don't know of any open-source versions.

The other thought was to use directed graphs with adjacency lists. I think that would be workable and I could use DB_File to handle persistance. However, I am much more familiar with database theory so I think that would be better (and probably allow more people to contribute). The nice thing about databases is that I think they would solve the Unification problem very easily, if I can come up an easy scheme to create them on the fly (I'm seeing more deviation from Prolog already).

Cheers,
Ovid

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
