Abstract :
The Web allows ubiquitous access to distributed databases through standard browser technology. However, appropriate middleware software needs to be developed to provide the tools both for accessing databases over the Web and ensuring that querying the knowledge base is possible. In this article we explore a number of these Web technologies and examine a case study based around the acquisition of respiratory flow signals from a Web-enabled spirometer
