Real-Time Digital Libraries Based on Widley Distributed, High Performance Management of Large Data Objects

We describe a distributed, wide area network basedapproach to collecting, cataloguing, storing, and providing Webaccess for large-data-objects that originate as high-speed datastreams. Such data streams result from the operation of manytypes of on-line instruments and imaging systems, and are astaple of modern intelligence, scientific, and health careenvironments. The approach provides for real-time conversionof the data streams and large datasets to objects that aremanageable,...
