Abstract
This paper introduces the MREF framework for representing and correlating information at a higher semantic level than is possible with Web-based information systems today. The role that metadata plays in this framework is described, together with a metadata based infrastructure to support our media independent information correlation paradigm. To keep it consistent with evolving standards, broader acceptance and ease of implementation, MREF abstraction is structured on top of RDF and XML. Its central role in the context of the InfoQuilt system, for exploiting heterogeneous digital media using a federated and scalable architecture, is briefly described. 1. Introduction Exploiting increasing amount of diverse Web-accessible data is recognized as an important problem and an interesting challenge. A federated approach being pursued in the InfoQuilt project involves distributed and independently managed (a) InfoQuilt servers (where information requests are processed) and (b) metadata repo...
