A method for aggregating, presenting, and fulfilling a number of catalogs is described. The method includes designating a server from a number of servers as a central server, receiving, at the central server, a number of catalogs from the number of servers, obtaining catalog information for the number of catalogs from the number of servers, and grouping the catalog information for the number of catalogs into an aggregated catalog. L'invention concerne un procédé d'agrégation, de présentation et d'exécution d'une multiplicité de catalogues. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à désigner un serveur parmi une multiplicité de serveurs en tant que serveur central, à recevoir, au niveau du serveur central, une multiplicité de catalogues en provenance de la multiplicité de serveurs, à obtenir des informations de catalogues relatives à la multiplicité de catalogues en provenance de la multiplicité de serveurs, et à grouper les informations de catalogues relatives à la multiplicité de catalogues pour donner un catalogue agrégé.
