10.00 Oracle Web Server as a solution to integrate distinct Oracle-based information systems, Pedro Martel / EST-ISS Division Very large projects require an information system built up of several distinct (and most commonly not co-operating) subsystems, each one specialised in its own scope. Contractual compliance verification becomes a very difficult task where the user must not only master each tool per se, but also understand the context of data and information in all of them. The 'Travellers application' was developed as an Oracle Web Server based Manufacturing Follow Up Tool, integrating several isolated Oracle based Engineering (CADIM), Document Administration and Equipment Data (MP5) Management systems. A generalised concept of a single user interface to federated databases has been tested in the Travellers application with very good results. Another goal of the implementation was the enforcement of generalised business rules rather at an inter-system level than that of a per system. The paper describes the underlying architecture and the first successful application of this concept at CERN. 11.30 Update from Oracle OpenWorld, Los Angeles, Eric Grancher / IT-DB Division
