Information heterogeneity is one of the main challenges faced by digital libraries. An interoperable mediation for digital library(IMDL) is introduced. IMDL is based on component architecture and integrates heterogeneous information services, which is dynamic andextensible. IMDL uses RDF as information exchange format, and implements protocol translation, query translation and result integration. The paperalso describes the implementation and evaluation of IMDL based on heterogeneous data source of China Digital Library Corporation.
