Abstract
Web content can be created from data stored in a database for the specific purpose of making Web pages.The data is appropriately structured, is stored in a relational database, and is transformed into HTML when required. A single Web page will contain data from many database tables. lt is relatively simple to change the database structure and to reflect the database structure in the Web site. Each datum is held just once in the database, so if updated is correct on all pages. Data is updated by downloading from other authoritative data sources, for example a personnel database or by a data owner using an on-line form to update the database.
