Reformatting information currently held in databases into Web pages re
quires significant effort in both creating the pages initially and the
ir subsequent maintenance. We avoid these costs by coupling a Web serv
er indirectly to a multimedia database using additional software we ha
ve developed. This software layer translates Web requests for informat
ion into SQL queries, and generates Web pages dynamically to display t
he results to the user. The method we have developed allows users to q
uery the database directly and browse for information.
