This project is developing a homogenous view into the highly heterogeneous data space that the Web, Internet, and private publishing data bases represent. In addition, the UMDL is developing an architecture for autonomous agents to interact, form teams, create and exploit markets, and provide a wide variety of services to users and other agents in the system. It is being developed in (to mention just a few) C++, ILU, CORBA, KQML, and Java on UNIX work stations. It is being deployed on Macintoshes, UNIX, and Windows platforms.
