Readers of this newsgroup may be interested in the following:

  The Telesophy Project at Bell Communications Research is a 
research effort to understand how to provide uniform access 
to AnyThing AnyWhere and thus permit browsing the WorldNet. 
A telesophy system transparently stores and retrieves
information of different types from different locations.
  We have built a prototype on Sun workstation hardware, which 
accesses multiple datatypes from multiple databases on multiple machines.
A set of databases have been obtained, ranging from Netnews
to journal citations to full-text magazines to color pictures, 
and we are beginning to use the system on a daily basis.
  The prototype currently performs network information retrieval;
it might be thought of as a distributed file system addressable
by keyword content rather than by exact pathname.  Doing this properly
requires efficient symbolic addressing across a large network of machines.
  We are seeking new colleagues to help build the telesophy prototype.
If interested, please contact me directly.
A fuller description appears on  misc.jobs  .
