Abstract

The paper introduces the concept of software agent-oriented frameworks for global query processing in an interoperable environment. Such an environment isdeveloped for the purpose of making cooperative interactions between several systems. These latter are distributed on networks and may present severalincompatibilities. The global query processing is applied to the SIGAL project which aims at developing an interoperable environment for georeferenced digital libraries. This environment provides users with services that will free them from worryingabout information distribution and disparities.
