Title

Other Title
VHDBS: Ein föderiertes Datenbanksystem für den Electronic Commerce
Abstract
During a German Telekom industrial research project, we designed and developed the VHDBS system, a federated database system for integrating information from preexisting and legacy databases. We are now going to apply VHDBS for eCommerce scenarios, where database access is of central importance. VHDBS is based on the OMG/CORBA 2.0 and ODMG 2.0 standards and offers an object-oriented data model described in ODMG/ODL as well as the query language ODMG/OQL. In this paper we discuss possible application domains and aspects of the technical background of VHDBS, especially its architecture, repository concept and Web user interface.
