Abstract

The Medoc system aims at providing Computer Science researchers and practitioners with information they need, on their desktops. On the one hand, this includes building a database of full text documents with browsing and navigation functions in addition to the usual search facilities. On the other hand, transparent access to heterogeneous full text and bibliographic databases is provided. The paper presented develops a document model needed to support all of the functions for the heterogeneous databases and sketches some methods for querying heterogeneous databases.

The Medoc Project is sponsored by the German Ministry for Education, Science, Research and Technology (no. 08 C 7829 6). The project’s home page is http://medoc.informatik.tu-muenchen.de.
