The database of an SVG repository stores all the virtual SVG documents in tables that exclusively house the graphic contents without any xml descriptors therefore have a very small foot print by comparison with xml files. It also means that appending, recombination and transformation of the graphic content is fast due to not having to parse descriptors and extract content. This allows for tremendous flexibility in formatting and the method of distribution when being sent to the requesting devices on the internet
