Catalog System

A Web-based Product Catalog is an online product database that requires easy access from anywhere in the world and uses the most efficient method for information retrieval. The database should support all products no matter what attributes the products have. Many large businesses have been unsuccessful in their attempts to create a product database that enables fast, efficient access across the Web. As there are many complex issues involved with the storage of product information, many companies settle for poorly designed databases as a tradeoff to becoming Web compatible faster. This chapter explores database-driven E-Commerce product catalogs and the issues that inhibit its creation. A Web-based Product Catalog System has been put forward in this chapter that allows for storage of all product specific information. Storage and retrieval of attributes that have no structure, like media objects (pictures, video clips, audio samples) have also been implemented in this system. Media objects are becoming an important feature to product catalogs, especially those intended for deployment on the Internet. Another important feature supported by the system is the ability switch between languages. This multi-language feature allows all of the product information to be understood right around the world, broadening the potential users of the system.

Theory Of Information

In the paper is developed a theory of information storage and retrieval systems which arise in situations when a whole possessed information amounts to a fact that a given document has some feature from properly chosen set. Such systems are described as suitable maps from descriptor algebras into sets of subsets of sets of documents. Since descriptor algebras turn out to be pseudo-Boolean algebras, hence an “inner logic” of our systems is intuitionistic. In the paper is given a construction of systems and are considered theirs properties. We will show also (in Part II) a formalized theory of such systems.

Role Of Information

China has suffered from over a decade of turmoil which has prevented the development of modern information ser vices. Present policy stresses the role of information storage and retrieval in national development. Apart from technical and political constraints, China faces a serious handicap with its unique written language, where the 5000 plus characters needed to express scientific and technical concepts are too large to be handled cost-effectively by present computers. This report outlines ways in which China is currently attempt ing to meet these problems and provide for modern informa tion services by the end of the decade.
