Another 2 centavos from Brasil...

I am currently writing an academic paper about databases from a
Library and Information Sciences perspective. I currently work at
BIREME which is a heavy user of CDS/ISIS, a document-oriented database
system created by Unesco in the 1970s and updated over the years by
BIREME and others. Scielo and Lilacs, two very important indexes of
scientific publications in Latin America, run on CDS/ISIS.

I have found a good body of literature on the subject of
non-relational databases (it turns out that "semistructured" is the
best word to search for in the literature). My paper is basically an
comparison of relational versus semistructured databases regarding
their suitability for bibliographic data sets.

I am very interested in collaborating in a study of the suitability of
the Storm API for querying semistructured dababases, but I will not
have time to contribute much until september, when I finish that paper
(it is acutually my graduation monograph).
