I recently downloaded Medline in XML format - the goal is to load it in a relational database (like mySQL), index it, and then somehow save the world with the data. I'm pretty sure tons (relatively speaking) of people have done the same thing before (except maybe the save the world part), and I'd prefer not to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to.
Anyone know of a good XML->database parser for Medline? If not I guess I'll code one myself! Indexing tips / advice would also be appreciated (first time I'm playing with a 50+ GB database). I heard Lucene is the bomb for indexing such a large database...
