  • Method and system for providing virtual access to information distributed across heterogeneous catalog servers
    Patent number: 6970840
    Abstract: A method and system for providing virtual access to product/service information distributed across heterogeneous catalog systems is disclosed. The method and system include subscribing a first catalog server to at least a portion of the information stored on one or more remote catalog systems, thereby creating a subscribing catalog server. Thereafter, a replication process is performed to synchronize information on the subscribing catalog server with the subscribed information on the remote catalog systems. A user may then use the subscribing catalog server to search and browse the synchronized information, thereby providing one site for viewing information from multiple catalog servers.
