Abstract

Mediators as an integral part of a distributed database environment are not a new idea. However, mediators are often looked at from the outside. The goal of the Sanctuary project is to provide an environment that allows one to configure the internal components of a mediator in a quick and modular fashion that allows the power and breadth of a CORBA facility. The Common Object Interconnection Language (COIL) is a programming language in development by the Database Research Group at the University of Colorado that allows fine grained specification of components within a mediator. COIL is the language that is used to specify mediators within the Sanctuary data mediation run-time system
