A federated architecture for database systems

The contemporary approach to database system architecture requires the complete integration of data into a single, centralized database; while multiple logical databases can be supported by current database management software, techniques for relating these databases are strictly ad hoc. This problem is aggravated by the trend toward networks of small to medium size computer systems, as opposed to large, stand-alone main-frames. Moreover, while current research on distributed databases aims to provide techniques that support the physical distribution of data items in a computer network environment, current approaches require a distributed database to be logically centralized.
