Most information systems depend on a database management system (DBMS) to organize information. Access to such an information system is based on use of a database query language on the part of the user. This poses user skill level problem. For example, for medical staff at a hospital, users can not spare time to learn a database query language. As a result medical staff tend to depend on specialists, and programmers for access to information. To eliminate the complexities of a query language and to make a ubiquitous access a Web based information access system has been proposed for the end users.
