Summary :

For advanced data-oriented applications in distributed environments, effective information is frequently obtained by integrating or merging various autonomous information sources. There are many problems: how to search information sources, how to resolve their heterogeneity, how to merge or integrate target sources, how to represent information sources with a common protocol, and how to process queries. We have proposed a new language, QUIK, as an extension of a deductive object-oriented database (DOOD) language, QUIXOTE, and extend typical mediator systems. In this paper, we discuss various features of QUIK: programming capabilities as integrating an exchange model and mediator specifications, merging subsumption relations for maintaining consistency, searching alternative information sources by hypothesis generation, and identifying objects.
