Abstract

Recent research has focused on the cooperation of web server and database server software in the deployment of data-intensive web sites. That work has focused either on storing data in a database that can be used to generate the contents of a web site, or on providing interfaces and gateways to enable queries to be invoked from web pages and executed at external database servers.

This thesis describes the implementation of a prototype of the Data Web system that is being implemented at Portland State University. With Data Web, a user can embed in a web page virtual tables that are mapped to relations in an external database server, enabling them to be viewed as part of the web page with a web browser. A user can also import the schemas of the relations from the browser into the RODIN Multidatabase System (a multidatabase system implemented at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Portland State University) with a mouse click operation. Once imported, they may be queried and/or integrated with other schemas. The Data Web system is currently functional, implemented as Java applets and servlets, requiring no custom modification to the source code of any web server or browser.
