“…The problem of user disorientation does not exist at all in the global information system proposed by Ordille and Miller [26]. The idea is to join features traditionally offered by distributed name services and multidatabase system capabilities in order to structure the enormous amount of information residing on the Internet.…”

The growth of the global Internet is causing a dramatic change in both the kind of people who access the information and the types of information itself, which range from unstructured multimedia data to traditional record-oriented data. To cope with these new needs, the interaction techniques traditionally offered to DBMS users have to evolve and eventually integrate in a powerful interface to the global information infrastructure. In particular, from the user's point of view there is the need of both effective visualizations of multimedia information and retrieval tools able to overcome the existing dichotomy between browsing and querying. This paper concentrates on the mutual relationship between database querying and Internet navigation, by reviewing some important contributions from different areas, such as information retrieval, database research, and visualization techniques.

“…ship of data processing to records management (Miller, 1989) and a reluctance by records managers to delve into an area with which they are unfamiliar (Fischer, 1989). Given this history, our research was concerned with the following specific questions for records management operations in the United States:…”

A national survey of records managers on the topic of computerization of their operations yielded surprising results. An overwhelming 92.4 percent reported that they were actively supporting computerization at present or planned to do so within the next year. The primary nature of the computerization was the use of microcomputers to track and manage physical, usually paper, records. The degree of computerization is related to the volume of records managed and the attitude of the company toward records management. The computerization of records management is only a few years old, yet the change has been rapid. Our findings indicate that the next step of Document Image Processing (DIP) where the records are also stored in a digital format is already underway and may proceed as fast as the first stage.

“…The challenges of global information systems were outlined a long time ago, in a paper [18] which argued that scalability, autonomy, and the (un)availability of information sources would make brute force selection techniques, exhaustive searches, and global synchronisation (consistency) impossible for a large number of queries due to the long latencies and required throughput. It was also pointed out that unavailability is also an issue as scale grows, as the chance of failure in at least one component increases dramatically which means that at least some of information sources will be unavailable if there are many.…”

A Grid information system resolves queries that may need to consider all information sources (Grid services), which are widely distributed geographically, in order to enable efficient Grid functions that may utilise multiple cooperating services. Fundamentally this can be achieved by either moving the query to the data (query shipping) or moving the data to the query (data shipping). Existing Grid information system implementations have adopted one of the two approaches. This paper explores the two approaches in further detail by evaluating them to the best possible extent with respect to Grid information system benchmarking metrics. A Grid information system that follows the data shipping approach based on the replication of information that aims to improve the currency for highly-mutable information is presented. An implementation of this, based on an Enterprise Messaging System, is evaluated using the benchmarking method and the consequence of the results for the design of Grid information systems is discussed.
