Hi all,

I'm currently working on my master’s thesis at the University Of Bergen, 
Norway. In my thesis I (try to) explore the capabilities of XQuery in a 
multidatabase context. This does not merely mean accessing data from 
several XML documents, but also resolving the semantic heterogeneities 
possibly (and most likely) occurring when attempting this.

I am interested in contact with anyone who's working on similar problems or 
others who think they could have useful input in this area.

My current conclusion is that XQuery can access several XML-documents, but 
does that it does not offers any means to resolve differences such as 
differences such as homonyms and synonyms in the mark-up.
