Distributed Searching Across Cultural Resources Using Z39.50 and SQL: A Powerful Combination: Conference paper (January 1999) which promotes a standards-based approach to Web-enabled inter-operable information retrieval for cultural networks (such as museums and galleries), using Z39.50 and the associated CIMI (Consortium for Interchange of Museum Information) profile. It presents Z+SQL, the adaptation of the Z39.50 protocol to the SQL domain. By uniting the advantages of the SQL query language with the information retrieval services of Z39.50, Z+SQL presents SQL-enabled cultural communities with a possible solution to their future distributed querying needs, to help facilitate access to their resources.
