Both in cultural sphere and in the private sector, providing an on-line consultation of the heterogeneous funds (collections, archives, advertising documents) and composite funds (text, photos, videos, maps, sound) requires modern technologies, capable of transverse questioning and content managing of voluminous to very voluminous files.
Though some great plain text search engines are available on the web, there is a lack of specific solutions for the full structured search.
ARMADILLO PORTAL software and its advanced indexing technology resolve most of the difficulties. It allows organizing in one database the different heterogeneous multimedia databases, as well as their transverse questioning, by searches manipulating key words and structured criterion simultaneously.

A complex structure can be organized in a simple manner in ARMADILLO PORTAL software. The multidimensional multimedia matrix structure of ARMADILLO system particularly suits to this type of problematic. It is a full-secured multilingual system including documentary workflow, search engine and commercial workflow.
