A number of ideas concerning information-integration tools can be
thought of as constructing answers to queries using views that
represent the capabilities of information sources. We review the
formal basis of these techniques, which are closely related to
containment algorithms for conjunctive queries and/or Datalog
programs. Then we compare the approaches taken by AT&T Labs'
\"Information Manifold\" and the Stanford \"Tsimmis\"
project in these terms.
