In recent year network computing technologies have been developed rapidly and the extended use of Internet applications for enterprises such as intranet/extarnet in and between enterprises has been increased enormously, the business in he future will be executed by virtual enterprise. Virtual enterprise is established on the integrated information environment to support the execution of streamless business processes by the team members who are representatives of the organizations that are participated in the actual business process in virtual enterprise. To establish the integrated information environment, it is necessary to provide the interopearbility to process the diversities in heterograneous distributed computing environment and build up logically integrated database to execute the information sharing between enterprises. To build up logically integrated database, one approach is to use the multidatabase system that provides the global view by producing a global schema through schema integration and another approach is only to connect the databases without schema integration using databse broker mechanism. This paepr propose multidatabase system prototype to implement the logically integrated database which is based on ObjectWeb technology. ObjectWeb technology combines the CORBA)Common Object Request Broker Architecture) as a communication infrastructure and WWW (World Wide Web) and Java that contain a platform-independent characteristics and provide the interoperability to process the information sharing transparently on heterogeneous distributed environment between enterprises.
