Yes it can. The Internet doesn't own any tables. Individuals, corporations etc. do. Sometimes for the sake of exchange or report chains (eg, admin statistics), they pick one and people agree to use it. Sometimes, they only agree to use part and extensions are added This is the classic agency to agency reporting problem. Mainly, we try to determine where they add the extensions and that is a little hairy. In a nutshell, we evolve relational dbs everyday with every release. The Internet Society is sort of like Santa's workshop: just another fanciful reason for parents to buy new toys and fool the kids. len -----Original Message----- From: Peter J. Gale [mailto:thesemanticweb@y...] Bill, In a nutshell: No matter how many tables you put into a design, you can always find a need for more. A relational database can not easily evolve with the ever-growing needs of an internet based society.
