Information Brokering

by Manfred Jeusfeld, Mike Papazoglou
"... . In large human-computer networks, information brokers provide links among syntactically and semantically heterogeneous information sources with information users who are equally diverse in their interests and capabilities. After giving a brief overview of the field, we compare three approaches to ..."

Spatial Reasoning for Information Brokering

by H. Stuckenschmidt, C. Schlieder, U. Visser, T. Vögele, H. Neumann
"... The World Wide Web provides new opportunities for collecting information from distributed, multiple, and heterogeneous data sources. Information brokering can be used to provide coordinated access to these sources if they are structured or semi-structured. The BUSTER (Bremen University Semantic Tran ..."

Extensible Information Brokers

by Jianguo Lu, John Mylopoulos - International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools , 2002
"... ABSTRACT The number and size of information services available on the internet has been growing exponentially over the past few years. This growth has created an urgent need for information agents that act as brokers in the sense that they can autonomously search, gather, and integrate information o ..."

Information Brokering in an Agent Architecture

by David Martin, Hiroki Oohama, Douglas Moran, Adam Cheyer , 1997
"... To date, document identification based on keyword matching strategies has been the basis of most efforts to provide assistance in accessing information resources on the Internet. However, in view of the limitations on human browsing time and the evolution of more capable software agents, we can expe ..."
