Abstract :
NetView supports global content-based query access to various visual databases over the Internet. An integrated metaserver consisting of a metadatabase, metasearch agent, and query manager facilitates such access. NetView significantly reduces the amount of time and effort that users spend in finding information of interest. It also can further refine the metaserver´s performance based on user feedback
