Bookreview of principles of data integration

Large-scale data gathering efforts of the past, like the Human Genome Project, have shown that their most valuable contribution is data, which allows researchers to link their own experimental findings to them. This process, data integration, will be of central importance in how the scientific community to will be able to draw on the result of the next decade which doubtless will be the decade ...

Principles of Data Integration

The World Wide Web offers a vast array of data in many forms. The majority of this data is structured for presentation not to machines but to humans, in the form of HTML tables, lists, and forms-based search interfaces. These extremely heterogeneous sources were created by individuals around the world and cover a very broad collection of topics in over 100 languages. Building systems that offer...

Principles of P2P Data Integration

Principles of peer-to-peer data integration

Integrating heterogeneous computational resources and databases, which are distributed over highly dynamic computer networks, is one of the crucial challenges at the current evolutionary stage of Information Technology infrastructures. Large enterprises, business organizations, e-government systems, and, in short, any kind of internetworking community, need today an integrated and virtualized a...

Design of Oil Refineries Hydrogen Network Using Process Integration Principles

This paper describes the application of process integration principles to the design of oil refineries hydrogen network. In this regard, a design hierarchy as well as heuristics and required guidelines are proposed. The recommended rules compensate lack of procedure to the design and make the design process easier. The guiding principles of the design are based upon pinch technology and ext...
