Abstract
A federative database server system integrates shared data stored on a central server machine and private data which are completely under control of one user. It is well suited to the field of office automation where workstations interconnected by a network should offer, among other possibilities for interaction, ways of sharing information in a structured way.
Different problems occur when developing such a system. On a user machine, private and shared data must be combined. This integration is the central issue of the paper. A first prototype of the federative database server system Aranea was completed recently at ETH Zurich. The solution chosen in this system is presented.
