The Structured Information Manager: A Database System for SGML documents

Summary: SIM is an SGML-conformant DBMS treating SGML documents as structured objects, enabling queries over document hierarchies. Compressed inverted indices deliver sub-second Boolean and natural-language queries on large corpora, with SGML/Z39.50 interfaces for public access to legislation.
