Summary:It is widely accepted that future digital library applications have to be built upon different kinds of database servers to draw from them different forms of data. These data include bibliographic data, text data, multimedia data as well as structured data. In this research, we address the problem of integrating existing bibliographic and relational databases which reside at different locations in the network. Although bibliographic data is semi-structured, it differs from general semi-structured data by often having an attribute set determined by an international standard known as MARC.
