This paper deals with the idea of an ODBMS working as an Internet server. The approach introduced offers fine grained storage and retrieval of WWW documents, providing sophisticated document maintenance, supporting referential integrity, document integration, integration with application objects, access control, and versioning. In contrast to comparable systems it acts transparently to the WWW users, i.e. without using proprietary query languages or protocols. While achieving the full benefits of a modern document repository it keeps the ease of the traditional file system it replaces.
