Abstract

Traditional query processing provides exact answers to queries. It usually requires that users fully understand the database structure and content to issue a query. Due to the complexity of the database applications, the so called global queries can be posed which traditional query answering systems can not handle. In this paper a query answering system based on distributed data mining is presented to rectify these problems. Task ontologies are used as a tool to handle semantic inconsistencies between sites.
