dc.description.abstract	The difficulties encountered by users without experience of the use of multiple databases are described, as well as an approach which allow such users to make worthwhile use of these systems, encompassing potentially complex-structure databases. Both the extraction of raw data as contained in the databases, and the obtaining of information derived from the data after processing by application software, are dealt with. The methods described are based on an architecture which could be implemented using any query language, and usual utilities, together with a data dictionary rich in semantic information about the databases in question.	en
