Extending Database Technology: a New Document Data Type

Our research explores a new database extension. Our aim is to see how far it is possible to support collaborative editing and document provenance with database technology, and extend the technology to fully support the data type document. We present an overview of techniques relevant in this area, some of the research challenges, and present a research plan which focuses on the issues of storage, query and manipulation of documents within a database. The current state of experimental work is summarised. Then a plan for further work is presented in detail.
