Abstract

The World Wide Web is moving from providing mainly hypertext content to users to new kinds of automated services. Standards lead this change and create a common ground for content representation, exchange and manipulation. New services can be built by integrating existing ones. The paper presents an integration architecture and a tool based on components and data-flow paradigms. The discussion highlights integration problems in information representation, service access, semantic compatibility, and non-functional properties. A case study presents the integration of timetables from three airline Web-services
