I-STORE was designed to
act as a generic object-oriented information management system. Its
purpose is to store information in a format suitable for the delivery
via the Internet or other remote means.
I-STORE was designed to fulfill the following objectives:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Flexible enough to
work with a wide array of catalog requirements.
Object-oriented framework to facilitate the first requirement.
Able to work as a stand-alone module or integrated into other
software.
Easy integration with exist software systems.
Support for multiple languages.
Unlimited item attributes, categories, descriptions etc.
Ability to create free-form associations between all objects.
Easily extensible. |
After investigating the
various alternatives, it was decided that the only practical approach
would have to be an object-based system. Without the benefit of an
object-oriented database system, the objects would have to be mapped to
the relational database model, which is the current standard. So,
I-STORE is an object-oriented information system that stores its
information in an SQL relational database.
To truly understand the power and necessity of I-STORE it is necessary
to understand the complexity of the data structures and processes that
I-STORE was designed to address. Suffice it to say, I-STORE was designed
to capture, store, and retrieve complex information structures, as they
exist in the real world.
NOTE: The I-STORE
system is a generic object-oriented data processing framework that must
be customized for each individual implementation. This customization is
included in the implementation cost estimate for each project.
