how to access a database;
the structure of the database;
the content of the database; and
the content of individual columns of the database;
the parsing further comprising translating the structure and one or more keyword descriptions of the content into a hierarchical vocabulary;
indexing the one or more coded files to create one or more indices; and
providing a search interface to the one or more coded files via the one or more indices.

Abstract
Searching research data includes parsing research data according to a markup language to create one or more coded files, indexing the one or more coded files to create one or more indices, and providing a search interface to the one or more coded files via the one or more indices. The markup language describes how to access a database, the structure of the database, the content of the database, and the content of individual columns of the database. The parsing includes translating the structure and one or more keyword descriptions of the content into a hierarchical vocabulary.
