Implementation of the XML Based Listener for Information Retrieval & Management System

In this paper, we suggest a process called Listener that support so that client can manage easily information retrieval system(IRS) and apply this to KRISTAL-Information Retrieval and Management System(IRMS). Usually, in relational database management system(RDBMS) such as Oracle, there are many applications and tools that client may manage system and its data. On the other hand, in information retrieval system applications for management has been performed in server-side due to the structure and purpose of the IR systems, it is difficult to manage the system. Using the proposed Listener, administrator can achieve control of search daemon process, database structure alteration, data management on client computer. This process has been designed based on XML considering scalability and readability and supports the client API by C and Java and make developer can do easily maintenance of the application for management database.
