netprice Incubation, Ltd. launched a portal site called monopedia containing product review information from users in December 2006. Hopes have been placed in the site concerning the possibility of projects in new business fields.
At monopedia, as well as processing the basic data handled by the site through a relational database, DB2® 9 has been introduced to handle attribute data concerning products and members in the form of XML data. In just three weeks, a web site was built that is capable of responding flexibly to business expansion and growth.
We asked the project representatives and the developers who actually built the system to provide us with an outline of the project and to speak about the possibilities of DB2 9 in the Web 2.0 era.
