XQuark Fusion is an information integration engine
for performing real-time queries of multiple,
heterogeneous, and distributed data sources. Using
XML-based data sources federation, it presents to
applications a single, uniform XML view of all
business information, which can then be queried
with XQuery to produce XML documents. Accessible
data sources include relational databases (through
the XQuark Bridge component) and XML documents,
and potentially much more, including Web Services,
XQuery-enabled data sources, and JCA connectors.
