The SHORE FAQ What is SHORE?
SHORE (Semantic Hypertext Object Repository) is a hypertext repository that provides a consistent view of content from a diverse set of tools, like other repositories, text documents, program source code etc. The repository stores a semantic net of objects defined by the various documents. Documents (or the content of repositories) are converted to XML and enhanced with specific markup, which denotes objects and the relationship between objects. The converted documents can then be accessed in a variety of ways, including using browsers, using queries on the content of SHORE’s object structure by creating report documents from SHORE or simply by dumping the content into text files for further processing. The documents, objects and relationships are specified using SHORE’s own simple meta model specification language.
