Titre / Title: Les Langages de Manipulation dans les Systèmes de Gestion de Documents
Abstract : The research field counts numerous Documents Management Systems (DMS). Each DMS has got its data model, its query language, which both allow to resolve some specific applications. This report presents six query languages, which are a logic language, a formal language, Gram, Jasmine, Duo and Graphlog. More precisely, we focus on the expressive powers generated by these languages. Since there is, currently, no standard concerning query languages for DMS, we propose a toy database and a set of queries, classified empirically, involving documentary data and operators. This database and these queries form the basis of our valuation. The comparison of these six languages induces a distinction between content-oriented queries and structure-oriented ones. We conclude this report by showing that a DMS should solve both of these queries.
