Deciding on a Data Source Model

Timothy again checks with Bill about the data source that is to be crawled.

A data source is a set of documents that can be treated as a logical unit. For example, a table from a database, a Web site from the intranet, or a file directory. A data source is also the unit of crawling. The crawler crawls one data source at a time. For the target repository, there should be concrete parameters that can define such a source.

Timothy and Bill study the Genie application and decide on the Data source model.
