Information storage in EAGLET

The following three main types of field are currently envisaged for the EAGLET relation:

  1. static: the entity (here: term attribut value) is stored in an ASCII coded format (e.g. simple text, SAMPA Notation, LaTeX code)
  2. hyperlink: term relations that depent on the query's context are build up as URLs.
  3. media event: data structures are coded (if neccessary in an appropriate data format `on-the-fly'). They are stored outside the DB and referenced by URLs.
