Leveraging Web services for information discovery
Abstract
We describe a novel application of the Web services model for end-user information discovery needs rather than for the traditional business-to-business applications. We describe a specialization of Web services for information providers and demonstrate, through an exemplary unified information discovery console, how consumers can easily customize their favorite information sources, and obtain information from them in a passive or active but always unobtrusive manner.
