A heterogenous distributed database is a system of non-                    integrated and possibly autonomous database management systems                  that employ different strategies for data and/or transaction                    management.  The individual databases comprising the                            heterogeneous database system may differ in data models, data                   definition and manipulation languages, transaction management                   (including concurrency control and commit protocols), and                       internal data structures.  The resulting incompatible systems                   create "islands of information" that isolate users.  The goal of                the heterogeneous database project is to bridge these islands by                presenting users with a centralized and homogeneous view of the                 heterogeneous distributed databases.  Hiding these                              incompatibilities may involve resolving issues in architecture                  and operating systems, in addition to database management                       systems.                                                                             Well accepted principles in serializability and correctness                must be redefined in this new envoronment.  New concepts in                     autonomy, heterogeneity and integration must be investigated.  As               a result of this research, in database management systems of the                future, existing data will be accessible globally without costly                and time consuming redesign or restructing of constituent                       databases.  Owners of existing databases will be able to join or                leave a federation of element databases at will.
