Full text database

Full text database

A full text database or a complete text database is a database that contains the complete text of books, dissertations, journals, magazines, newspapers or other kinds of textual documents. It is opposed both to a bibliographic database (only covering bibliographical information and possibly abstracts and thus being a partial text database) and to a non-bibliographic database (such as, for example, a directory or a numeric database).

Full text databases became common about 1990 when computer storage technology made them economic and technological possible. There are two main classes: An extention of the classical bibliographical databases into full text databases (e.g. on hosts such as BRS, Dialog, LexisNexis and Westlaw) and Internet based full text databases (based on search enginees or XML).
