Abstract
The emergence of the World-Wide Web has made available a multitude of autonomous data sources which can as a whole satisfy most of users information needs. However, it remains a tedious and long task for users to find the data sources that are relevant to their request, to interact with each of those sources in order to extract the useful pieces of information which then have to be combined for building the expected answer to the initial request.
