The Distributed Information Search Component (DISCO) and the World Wide Web
Summary: DISCO is a prototype heterogeneous distributed DB mediator over sources (files and the Web) with wrappers that translate queries into source-specific subqueries. It tackles weak data-source capabilities, radical cost variation, and ungraceful failures via explicit capability/cost models and by returning partial results when sources fail.
