Description
This Generic Function belongs to Working Area Middleware. This function offers the ability to process strictly structured data, i.e. it controls the organization, querying, and retrieval of "strictly structured data". An example of a Data Engine is a database system. The function may offer one or more of the following:
- a "modeling language"
- a "query language"
- a "transaction mechanism"
Note that the Data Engine itself does not cater for the storage of strictly structured data (other than intermediate storage); to that end, the function should be combined with the Structured Data Store function.
