Infomaster is an information integration system developed
at the Center for Information Technology of Stanford Uni-
versity.
Infomaster has been in use since fall 1995 for searching
housing rentals in the San Francisco Bay Area, and since
winter 1996 for room scheduling at Stanford.
Infomaster is the basis for the current Stanford Infor-
mation Network (SIN) project that is integrating numerous
structured information sources on the Stanford campus.
Infomaster is also the basis for the Housewares Virtual
Catalog, a proof of concept with participants from Corn-
ing, Mirro, Regal, Sears, GE Information Services, National
Housewares Manufacturers Association, National Retail Fed-
eration, Stanford University, and Epistemics.
