This technical paper discusses how the World-Wide Web can be
|
|
linked to the PAT system, Open Text's search engine that supports
|
|
access to SGML-encoded documents. This Web-to-PAT Gateway
|
|
utilizes the Web's Common Gateway Interface (CGI) capability and
|
|
SGML-to-HTML filter programs.
|
|
After briefly overviewing key technical concepts, the paper
|
|
explains the operation of the Web-to-PAT Gateway, using several
|
|
examples of how it is employed at the University of Virginia
|
|
Libraries, including access to text files such as a Middle
|
|
English collection, the Oxford English Dictionary, and the Text
|
|
Encoding Initiative's Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and
|
|
Interchange.
