One of the critical issues in Web-based e-commerce has been how to efficiently and effectively integrate and query heterogeneous, diverse e-catalogs 1 . We propose an integration framework for building and querying catalogs. Our approach is based on a hybrid of peer-to-peer data sharing paradigm and Web-services architecture. Peers in our system serve as domain-specific data integration mediators. Links between peers are established based on the similarity of the domain they represent. The

We apply a summarisation technique to summarise the content of catalogs. The summaries are used to pre-selecting data sources that are relevant to a user query.
