The MyVIEW Project: A Data Warehousing Approach to Personalized Digital Libraries

The MYVIEW project aims at the integration of both structured and unstructured bibliographic information from a diversity of heterogeneous Internet repositories like electronic journals and traditional libraries. Based on the user's individual information need MYVIEW maintains a personalized warehouse for bibliographic data in a unified scheme, which is locally available for browsing, ad hoc queries and analysis. This paper gives an overview of the project, emphasizes research issues and describes the current state of the implementation.
