       There  are  many  applications  which need support for compound
       information.  Thus,  we  need  new mechanisms for managing data
       integration;   aids   for   creating   references,   links  and 
       annotations;   and  services  for  clustering,  organizing  and 
       reusing  compound  objects  (COs)  and  their  components.  Few 
       attempts  have  been  made  to  formally  characterize compound
       information, related services, and technologies. We propose the
       description and interplay of technologies for handling compound
       information  taking  advantage of the formalization proposed by
       the  5S  Framework. This paper: (1) analyzes technologies which
       manage  compound  information (DCC, Buckets, OAI-ORE); (2) uses
       5S  formal definitions for describing them; (3) presents a case
       study,  illustrating  how  CO technologies and the 5S Framework
       can   fit   together   to   support   exploration  of  compound 
       information.
