A novel approach towards the recognition of plausible interdatabase dependencies (IDD) using a federative cell system FCSI is presented. The architecture of the FCSI is designed as a system of cooperative intelligent autonomous agents (cells) each of them uniquely assigned to one local database system. The FCSI aims for a cooperative solution for the problem of finding semantically related information while strictly respecting the autonomy requirements of each individual database system. For this purpose first a describe, terminological meta-knowledge and domain information representation DIT on top of the local conceptual database schema is built at each agent by using user-specified intentional scripts. In addition, an respectively instantiated actual aspect world W enables a more flexible representation of schema object aspects. According to a prior known set of common terminological primitives cpc of respective local DITs remote terminological classification then serves as a basis for the discovery of intentional IDDs (i-IDD) between objects of different schemas with respect to some or all of their sofar related intentional aspects. Projections on respective associated aspect valuations at schema and state level isps determine context-based data sharing and result in restricted proposals for interdatabase schema assertions (IDSA). Methods for flexible utilitaristic coalition building among the autonomous cells of the FCSI are currently investigated in order to organize a cooperative recognition process of i-IDDs. In this paper the current status of ongoing research on the FCSI is reported.
