Abstract

This research will develop techniques to provide seamless and transparent access to databases on the deep web. In particular, the project will build a metaquery system that helps users to find and query the databases. The specific tasks will include source discovery and modeling, semi-structured unified schema construction, dynamic source selection, metaquery language definition, and metaquerier system development. The career development plan will include modernizing the database curriculum as well as promoting interdisciplinary research.
