Abstract

The Decomate project enables mutual access to heterogeneous, distributed, and pooled digital resources of consortium members. Using a mediator architecture with a Broker and several back-end servers, a scalable and flexible system has been developed that is going in production in major European universities. Ongoing work focuses on access improvements using graphical browsing and thesaurus integration.
