Mediator 2.0
The Mediator composes, filters and publishes, in XML,
heterogeneous data distributed across the enterprise. The
component provides a uniform view in XML that integrates
database, files and documents distributed in an enterprise. An
XML based query language XQUERY queries this uniform view to
provide integrated XML documents.
Coupled with wrappers that provide access to non-XML based
source, the component dynamically manages the meta-data of the
sources, the composition of data via join, union, Cartesian
product, the selection of results and the publication of XML
data according to a DTD. New sources that extend an existing
generic wrapper may be added without writing a single line of
code.

The unique characteristics of this component are:
An integrated XML view of distributed heterogeneous
data sources queried by XQUERY. The XQUERY scripts permit the
definition of XML search criteria and the definition of DTDs
for publication.
Optimized performance Who knows how to advertise business in internet in real. The technology of delegation of
queries onto data sources optimizes the original XML request
into the minimum number of pertinent delegated queries.
Progressive discovery and dynamic exploitation of
meta-data. A cache of meta-data manages and extends the
metadata understood by the system. Data sources may be
dynamically added and dropped from the system without
recompilation.
Real-time data source interrogation for query
processing. Most other systems periodically extract data from
data sources, thus requiring a data warehouse. Our component
dynamically queries the underlying system a query time, thus
avoiding this unnecessary cost.
Support of W3C standards for programming
XML in Java. A Java API provides access to the component for
the delivery of XQUERY scripts. The query responses are
delivered in the DOM API or in XML.
An Administration Console permits the
interrogation of data sources directly (through XQUERY or a
native query language), the discovery of meta-data, the
submission of queries, and the dynamic addition and removal of
data sources.
Rapid Development and Deployment A library of wrappers
for use with the mediator (or independently) are offered by
e-XMLMedia:
Wrapper SQL permits the publication of
an SQL database in XML.
Wrapper HTML permits the transformation
of an HTML source into XML.
A Tool-kit provides the rapid
development of new wrappers for specific data sources.
