Abstract

This paper presents three broad classes of network architecture that support discovery of information sources. Relevant concepts such as query routing and the extraction, propagation, and retrieval of metadata are defined. Based on these concepts, different models of locating and querying relevant information sources are presented. Finally, we estimate several important characteristics of these models and classes as well as their expected scalability.
