DocDB Description

Powerful and flexible collaborative web based document server DocDB is a powerful and flexible collaborative document server. DocDB is well suited for managing and sharing documents (not just official publications) among groups of up to several hundred people.A DocDB installation consists of three parts: a relational database which stores information about the documents, a file system hierarchy used for storing the documents themselves, and a suite of CGI scripts which provide coherent access to both sets of information.DocDB maitains information in the database about: author(s), title, topic(s), abstract, access restriction information, etc. Here are some key features of "DocDB": · DocDB maintains a versioned list of documents in a MySQL database. Information maintained in the database includes, author(s), title, topic(s), events(s), creation on modification dates, revision number, abstract, keywords, document type, pointers to the actual document files, and access restriction information. · Access to DocDB is controlled by cgi scripts that run on your web server. · When a document is submitted to DocDB, the document is copied (from either local disk or an html address) to a directory located on the web server. Documents may be composed of many files. · Documents are copied to a central location so that they will not "disappear" when someone rearranges or deletes files. This also enables centralized backup. · Changes to a document result in a new version of the document. Old versions remain available, providing historical archiving. Different versions allow different access restrictions, so documents can be developed in private and then "released." · DocDB contains a robust event and agenda management system which allows documents to be associated with meetings of all sizes. What's New in This Release: · Rename Fields.pm to DocDBFields.pm to avoid an apparent case sensitivity · problem on Mac OS X. Found with the help of Mark Foster, Sussex.
