Description:
------------
  DocDB is a powerful and flexible document database.

The document database 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 maintains a versioned list of documents in a MySQL database.
Information maintained in the database includes, author(s), title, topic(s),
document date, 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 several 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,
providing historical archiving. 

DocDB is available under the terms of the GNU Public License and runs
primarily on Linux using Perl and MySQL. Instructions for obtaining the
source code from CVS can be found at
