Towards a Mediation System Framework for Transparent Access to Largely Distributed Sources. The MediaGrid Project

This paper presents the MediaGrid project whose goal is the defini- tion of a mediation framework for transparent access to largely distributed sources. Frameworks are reusable pieces of design being expressed as a set of interfaces and components together with the description of their collaboration. Research topics addressed by the MediaGrid project include meta-data design, generation of mediation queries and adaptive and interactive query evaluation.
