....on heterogeneous sources and semantic optimization of queries. The mediator described in [19] uses domain maps representing semantic nets of concepts and relationships and semantic indexes of source data into a domain map. Recent surveys on current works in this area are given, e.g. in [28] and [24]. However, all these approaches require database like structures and schema information. Thus, they are not applicable to schema less data such as images or textual documents. At the other end of the spectrum, several systems have been proposed that provide users with means to annotate data. This ....

....unique ranked list) In this paper we focus on the interoperability problem, one of the most challenging in the field of digital libraries. Heterogeneity occurs in both information representation and services, and must be addressed at four basic levels: system, structural, syntactic, and semantic [20]. One federated digital library where heterogeneity is a major problem is the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations [23] an international federation of universities, libraries, and other supporting institutions focused on efforts related to electronic theses and dissertations ....
....either. Again, some documents from the PhysDis collection are represented with Dublin Core metadata, including dc.subject, while others describe subjects with lists of automatically extracted keywords. Thus, heterogeneity has several dimensions and induces four levels of interoperability concerns [20]: 1) system: which involves for example differences in harvesting protocols; 2) syntactic: including machine dependable aspects of data representation; 3) structural: involving representational heterogeneity; and 4) semantic: with all the complexities related to meanings, significations, ....

.... for example [CM99] Attacking the problem head on, many researchers have offered their ideas on heterogeneity issues, for example [ACHK93, Coh98, KMA 98] with many of these issues coming to the forefront in a recent special section on semantic interoperability in SIGMOD Record [BCV99, FPNB99, OS99, SO99, Gal99] The work presented in this paper differs from previous work in its particular approach to the general problem. We focus on extracting information from heterogeneous sources for a particular predefined target view. This makes the problem we are attacking more manageable than the ....
....sources and present it in a tailored 2 way for a user see for example the work on structured maps [DMRA97] We define the target view conceptually, as an ontology [Bun77, Bun79] independent of any of the sources. Others have suggested ontologies as a means to resolve many of the issues (see [OS99] and the earlier work cited in [OS99] and ontologies are not without problems [OI99] but we believe that they offer one of the best approaches to resolving the issues. We use OSM [EKW92] as our conceptual model for describing the ontology for our target view. We also use OSM to model each ....
