Abstract
The paper discusses issues related to the design of an integrating mediator that facilitates the use of distributed and heterogeneous data resources. The architecture for such a mediator is outlined in the paper. The implementation of relationships between distributed objects is presented. The design of a mediator is based on the CORBA software model that considers relationships between distributed objects as first-class objects with state and operations rather than as stored links.
