Abstract
We propose a new method of accessing heterogeneous information sources such as Web pages and relational databases. In our method, users input only keywords. These keywords are then mapped to appropriate information resources such as values and data items, and then queries to information sources are generated. This approach is a mixture of keyword based web search engines and mediators. The proposed method is described along with a prototypical implementation.
