This paper proposes an agent-based framework for coordinating heterogeneous regional information services. It is necessary
to deal with distributed and heterogeneous information services since regional information sources are geographically distributed
and the characteristics of regions vary the required regional information according to regions. It is also necessary to integrate
information user-adaptively since users of regional information services have specific characteristics, such as knowledge
about the region. In this paper, we propose an agent-based framework that consists of server and user agents. Some server
agents wrap distributed regional information servers to provide flexible communication. Some server agents provide certain
mediation services, such as ontology translation, to enable the coordination of heterogeneous information servers. Each user
agent integrates information received from other agents according to a user model to enable the provision of user-adapted
information. A prototype system, called the GeoLinkAgent system, has been implemented based on the framework.
