Technical perspective on the heterogeneous databases interoperability

The author presents an architecture by which distributed and heterogeneous information sources can cooperate together in an interoperation environment to share information, taking into consideration current advances in Internet facilities. More specifically, a mechanism is described that enables information producers and consumers to have a common pool by which they know each other and the information space provided for each. This mechanism accomplishes the goals without any effect on the autonomy of the participating information sources. The plan also is to conduct more research in refining this architecture. We have implemented some parts of the prototype and are working to implement the prototype as a whole to validate the design ideas presented in the paper
