Abstract

We will briefly describe the recently implemented hyperset approach to semi-structured or Web-like and possibly distributed databases with the query system available online at http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~molyneux/t/ . As this approach is crucially based on the bisimulation relation, the main stress in this paper is on its computation in the distributed case by using a so called bisimulation engine and local approximations of the global bisimulation relation.
