    ABSTRACT    = {This chapter presents the design and development of WebDisC, a
                   knowledge-based Web information system for the fusion of classifiers
                   induced at geographically distributed databases. The main features of
                   our system are: i) a declarative rule language for classifier selection
                   that allows the combination of syntactically heterogeneous distributed
                   classifiers, ii) a variety of standard methods for fusing the output of
                   distributed classifiers, iii) a new approach for clustering classifiers
                   in order to deal with the semantic heterogeneity of distributed
                   classifiers, detect their interesting similarities and differences
                   and enhance their fusion and iv) an architecture based on the Web
                   services paradigm that utilizes the open and scalable standards of XML
                   and SOAP.
