[Corpora-List] Corpus Development

[Bob Parks]

Serge and Mark,
I'd be interested in hearing more about your 
views on the differences - pro and con - between 
relational DB architecture and full text DB 
architectures.  Both of these must also deal take 
into account the characteristics of different 
programming languages.  And both approaches tie 
into different strategies for interacting with 
users - from creation of data/content to query 
strategies.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Bob
