Abstract

This paper describes a mechanism which allows multiple views of underlying electronic resource structures to be created. The aim is to address problems faced by users when trying to navigate file system structures defined by third parties. A framework has been developed which supports the definition and evaluation of an appropriate solution. The framework includes a query language that allows for the construction of user defined views using a declarative style grammar. Several deployment architectures, which support practical application of the proposed framework, have been developed and form the basis of an initial implementation.
