Abstract

In this chapter, we cover the technical aspects of some of the major products and prototypes that achieve data sharing in heterogeneous environments. We specifically look at the strengths and weaknesses of each product We categorize the products into two broad categories: research and commercial. Because the relevant technology (i.e., achieving seamless interoperation) has not reached a mature state, widespread use and deployment of products (research or commercial) currently does not exist. The limited deployment of this technology is no reflection on its benefits. We believe that, with the adoption of the WWW as the platform of choice, the technology implemented in these products will be widely and progressively used. The products described in this chapter areas follows: DAPLEX, IRIS, Pegasus, Comandos, Fbase, Myriad, Multibase, Mermaid, SIMS, InterBase, and Omnibase. Other systems are also briefly described. The systems presented below serve to demonstrate how some of the issues mentioned in the previous chapters are handled in practice. A more exhaustive discussion is covered in (Bukhres and Elmagarmid, 1996).
