DSTP (Data Space Transfer Protocol)
DSTP (Data Space Transfer Protocol) is a protocol that is
used to index and retrieve data from a number of databases, files, and other
data structures using a key that can find all the related data about a particular object across all
of the data. The data is typically distributed
among a number of servers in a
network. The servers, called DSTP servers, understand how to index and retrieve appropriate data,
using the key, which is called a Universal Correlation Key (UCK). DSTP can be considered a tool for
data
mining.
DSTP is similar in concept to the NNTP, which
allows Internet users to access the online discussions known as Usenet newsgroups.
DSTP makes use of the Extensible Markup Language (XML). For an
existing database, an XML file is created in which a UCK key or tag describes corresponding
database columns.
