Information Extraction and Integration from Heterogeneous, Distributed, Autonomous Information Sources : A Federated Ontology-Driven Query-Centric Approach

چکیده
This paper motivates and describes the data integration component of INDUS (Intelligent Data Understanding System) environment for data-driven information extraction and integration from heterogeneous, distributed, autonomous information sources. The design of INDUS is motivated by the requirements of applications such as scientific discovery, in which it is desirable for users to be able to access, flexibly interpret, and analyze data from diverse sources from different perspectives in different contexts. INDUS implements a federated, query-centric approach to data integration using user-specified ontologies. KeywordsData Integration, Federated Database, Ontology

Information Integration and Knowledge Acquisition from Semantically Heterogeneous Biological Data Sources
We present INDUS (Intelligent Data Understanding System), a federated, query-centric system for knowledge acquisition from autonomous, distributed, semantically heterogeneous data sources that can be viewed (conceptually) as tables. INDUS employs ontologies and inter-ontology mappings, to enable a user or an application to view a collection of such data sources (regardless of location, internal...
متن کاملELITE: An Entailment-Based Federated Query Engine for Complete and Transparent Semantic Data Integration
In recent years the core of the semantic web has evolved into a conceptual layer built by a set of ontologies mapped onto data distributed in numerous data sources, interlinked, interpreted and processed in terms of semantics. One of the central issues in this context became the federated querying of such linked data. This paper presents the federated query engine ELITE that facilitates a compl...
متن کاملOntology-Driven Sub-Query Extraction for Distributed Autonomous Information Resources in UnIT-Net IEDI
The paper reports on the development of UnIT-Net Infrastructure for Electronic Data Interchange (IEDI). The main task of IEDI is to provide a uniform framework for authorized and secure information retrieval from heterogeneous, distributed, autonomous Information Resources (IRs) among the higher educational establishments and state bodies in Ukraine. The focus of the paper is the algorithm for ...
متن کاملOntology Based Data Integration in Federated Databases and Its’ Issues
In this paper, we discuss the use of ontologies for data integration. We consider two different settings depending on the sys tem architecture: central and peer-to-peer data integration. Within those settings, we discuss five different cases studies that illustrate the use of ontology in metadata representation, in global conceptualization, in high-level querying, in declarative mediation, and ...
متن کاملA Semi-Automatic Method for Ontology Mapping
Ontology mapping involves the task of finding similarities among overlapping sources by using ontologies. In a Federated System in which distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous information sources must be integrated, ontologies have emerged as tools to solve semantic heterogeneity problems. In this paper we propose a three-level approach that provides a semi-automatic method to ontology mappi...
