Accessing Heterogeneous Data Through Homogenization and Integration Mediators
نویسندگان
چکیده
The AURORA mediator system employs a novel 2-tier, plug-and-play mediation model that is designed to facilitate access to a large number of heterogeneous data sources. This paper describes AURORA's mediation model and a suite of techniques used by a specific AURORA mediator, AURORA-RH. This suite includes a mediation methodology provided via an interactive mediator author's toolkit (MAT), a mediation enabling algebra, a query rewriting algorithm, and transformation rules that facilitate query optimization.

متن کاملUsing distributed database queries and composable mediators to support requirements analysis
Requirements analysis in a modern development environment needs to take into account product information at all development stages. An integrated product model is used to describe the data used through the development process as different kinds of models and to capture the relationships between them. Due to its diverse nature, this information is usually stored in distributed and heterogeneous ...
متن کاملThe use of Mediators for Component Retrieval in a Reuse Environment
CBD (Component Based Development) aims at constructing software through the inter-relationship between preexisting components. However, these components must be connected to a specific domain of application in order to reuse components effectively.
