Zebra is a powerful and versatile information management system which allows you to construct arbitrarily complex record structures and manage efficient, robust databases.
Since the internal data modeling tools of Zebra are based on the Z39.50-1995 standard, the system is well-suited to support a complex database profile such as the one specified by the GILS profile. Because GILS is expected by many to play an important role in the evolving, global information society, and because the GILS profile has proven useful to a number of different applications outside of its dedicated domain, the public distribution of Zebra includes a configuration set-up which makes it a simple matter to establish a new GILS database.
This document, which is a supplement to the general documentation set for Zebra, explains in simple terms how you can easily set up your own GILS-compliant database service.
