The Aquarelle resource discovery system

Aquarelle is a three-year project supported by the Telematics Applications Programme of the European Union, aiming at designing a resource discovery system on the Internet, applied to cultural heritage documentation. The system relies on the Z39.50 protocol to support access to heterogeneous databases, including SGML document repositories. Its most original features are direct linking from SGML documents to database records, an advanced link management facility, and query broadcasting to dynamically selected databases.
