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.

“…Some approaches have been proposed in the literature to address the information discovery problem for a large number of databases [2,3,6,10,11,12,14]. These approaches present a way of identifying the content of the different databases, but do not specify how to access the data after locating the database.…”

“…The requested data is accessed as part of the discovery process. In [3,10,11] the authors proposed a framework that allows dynamic education of the users about the available information space. This is executed in a simple way by supporting interaction and identification of inter-relationships between databases.…”

We describe an approach that supports distributed information discovery when interoperating with large number of autonomous hospital databases. The approach is presented through a case study based on the health care network. The idea is to perform complete execution of a query: data request, database location and data access, in a distributed way, avoiding the use of integrated schemas and centralised structures. The discovery process is limited to a group of databases that have either related data or knowledge about other databases that possibly holds the required data. The process is recursive, executed in parallel and avoids cycles. The approach permits dynamic evolution of the system and attempts to preserve the autonomy of the databases. A prototype has been developed for academic and research purposes. It demonstrates the feasiability of the approach as an alternative to interoperate with a large number of autonomous databases without using integrated schemas.
