Federated digital library should enable heterogeneous data sources to be shared and allow users to access them easily. An integrated information retrieval mechanism for federated digital library based on mediator/wrapper was proposed. It used RDF as information exchange format, and implemented query translation and result integration. An FDL integrated information retrieval system using the mechanism was implemented. The designs of mediator and wrapper generator were introduced and the performance of the system was analyzed.
