ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for facilitating the management of metadata is disclosed, specifically by associating metadata with an XML schema. The database system provides a method that allows end users to maintain additional information describing resources. User-defined metadata attributes are associated as an XML schema which in turn is mapped to a table, referred to as the user metadata table. The XML schema contains user-defined information specifying the metadata that the end-user wants the system to store and maintain. Additionally, a reference is created between an entry in the user metadata table and its corresponding resource entry in the resource table. The resources are accessed directly or by issuing queries against the user metadata table. The querying of the user metadata table gains the benefit of fast and efficient query results and access time.
