Virtual Database technology, XML, and the Evolution of the Web

We describe Junglee’s Virtual Database (VDB) technology, which makes the World Wide Web and other external data sources behave as an extension of an enterprise’s relational database (RDBMS) system. We provide examples of powerful applications enabled by the technology. We then consider XML, a new markup language standard; we conjecture how XML will transform the web, and the role that will be played by Virtual Database technology in this transformation.
