One of the things my work has asked me to do is look into creating an
enterprise wide XML cache. We have so many disparate systems providing
mass-storage facilities to our applications -- LDAP, X500, Ingres,
MySQL, Oracle. All the information is spread out but when building apps,
we often need to access information that cuts accross all of them.
We could build a standard warehouse but I want to evaluate the idea of
an XML warehouse.
