Abstract

A function-based approach and mechanism to support sharing among the component database systems in a federation is described. In the context of a functional object-based database model, a technique to support inter-component information unit and behavior sharing is presented. An experimental system that implements the function-based sharing mechanism is described, its underlying algorithms are outlined, and its practical utility and effectiveness are assessed. This work is couched in the framework of the Remote-Exchange research project and experimental system. Keyword Codes: H.2.5. Keywords: Heterogeneous Databases
