A proxy front end server that presents a single Z39.50/SRW/SRU front
end to multiple back end Z39.50 database servers. It can also work in
conjunction with Index Data's library of gateways to access non-Z39.50-compliant
database servers. Metaproxy is server software and does not have a client
interface but is designed to tie into any existing client search interface.
Combines caching; load balancing; filtering; and cross database
merging of the result set; and other performance-enhancing mechanisms
that speed up retrieval. It is designed for integrating multiple back
end databases - within a single organization or across multiple organizations
- into what appears from the user's point of view to be a single searchable
resource.

An extension to PHP, the web server
language that implements Z39.50 origin (client) functionality as well
as the SRW/SRU protocols.
Distributed under the PHP license.

module intended to make it as simple as possible to develop
