Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method of storing, maintaining, and distributing computer intelligible electronic data that substantially reduces the cost and complexity of traditional database management systems. The present invention provides a unstructured database capable of efficiently accessing and storing electronic data, regardless of the data's structure. Instead of slotting incoming data into a predefined rigid storage structure, the present invention analyzes the inherent structure of the incoming data. Based upon the results of this analysis, the unstructured database of the present invention generates a storage model using tokenized symbology representing the inherent structure of the data. The tokenized symbology of the present invention is utilized to provide immediate access to each data field in a given record. The present invention utilizes logical and positional pointers to allow entire records associated with any data field to be generated without the need for additional search queries.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种存储，维护和分发计算机可理解电子数据的改进方法，其显着降低了传统数据库管理系统的成本和复杂性。 本发明提供一种能够有效地访问和存储电子数据的非结构化数据库，而不管数据结构如何。 本发明不是将输入数据插入到预定义的刚性存储结构中，而是分析输入数据的固有结构。 基于该分析的结果，本发明的非结构化数据库使用表示数据的固有结构的标记符号来生成存储模型。 本发明的令牌化符号系统用于提供对给定记录中的每个数据字段的即时访问。 本发明利用逻辑和位置指针来允许生成与任何数据字段相关联的整个记录​​而不需要额外的搜索查询。
