A method for controlling the storage of data among multiple regional storage centers coupled through a network in a global storage system is provided. The method includes steps of: defining at least one dataset comprising at least a subset of the data stored in the global storage system; defining at least one ruleset for determining where to store the dataset; obtaining information regarding a demand for the dataset through one or more data requesting entities operating in the global storage system; and determining, as a function of the ruleset, information regarding a location for storing the dataset among regional storage centers having available resources that reduces the total distance traversed by the dataset in serving at least a given one of the data requesting entities and/or reduces the latency of delivery of the dataset to the given one of the data requesting entities.

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to processing markup language documents and provide a method, system and computer program product for processing large relationship-specifying markup language documents. In an embodiment of the invention, a method can be provided for processing large relationship-specifying markup language documents. The method can include generating an index of nodes each node corresponding to a clause in the markup language document, processing the index in lieu of the markup language document, identifying clauses referenced within the index to be written to a database and extracting the identified clauses from the markup language document and writing the extracted clauses to the database.
