Information Retrieval in Digital Libraries Using XML Mediation

Digital libraries are more and more available on the web. However, retrieving information in these libraries is not easy because of sources heterogeneity and distribution. Thus, we propose the use of virtual integration with mediator-wrapper architecture. This architecture allows access to relational sources, XML documents and text files. The mediator schema is based on XML and Xquery as query language. KEYWORDS Information retrieval, digital libraries, virtual integration, mediation, Xquery
