A Customized Toolset for the Lexical Analysis of Document Databases, by J. Barnes and S. A. Mamrak, OSU-CISRC-7/89-TR32. ABSTRACT With the vast amount of electronically encoded data that exists today, the problem of sharing data between applications has become a major concern. In order to facilitate the sharing of data objects among applications, we propose a lexical intermediate form. Realizing the difficulty of converting existing data objects into this form, we plan to implement a customized toolset to build lexical analyzers for already encoded data objects in the document database domain. -=- Julie A.
