Explores some technical issues related to accessing a database system through the internet, and presents examples of successful web database implementations. The 11 papers address low level programming, querying and mining web data, heterogeneous and distributed systems, and security. Topics include using first order logic to query XML data, cache management for web databases, and a POA-based CORBA database adapter for web service infrastructure. The four case studies of web content management, a tutor payment system, a multiple choice test, and a product catalog employ object-oriented design. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
