Development of a distributed watermark database with multilanguage support is presented as an example of a particular solution of this task. Exiting databases are mainly supported by general-purpose software tools like Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, dBase, Paradox, etc. Such small databases are as a rule local and support only one language. Due to this reason, the effective joint usage of such databases by another users is hardly restricted. Therefore, development of special software tools for combining such local databases to be used in the frame of a distributed database with multilanguage support is perspective. |
