Empowering Databases for Context-Dependent Information Delivery

We present a web-publishing platform that was developed by integrating key constructs and operations for web content delivery into the core of an object-oriented database system. In this paper, we focus on the support for context-dependent delivery, inclusive of time-dependent delivery. A general model of context is based on application-specific sets of characteristics. We describe how web documents are dynamically composed from component instances, selected according to a best match of current context state and individual instance
