CORDS Schema Integration Environment * November 1995 External Technical Report

چکیده
The CORDS Multidatabase System (MDBS) provides applications with an integrated view of a collection of distributed heterogeneous data sources. Applications are presented with a relational view of the available data and are able to access the data using standard SQL operations. An application's view of the data is defined by a process called schema integration. This paper describes the schema integration method developed for the CORDS MDBS and outlines a set of tools to support the method.

The Management of Distributed Applications and Systems (MANDAS) project addresses problems arising in the management of distributed applications. Specifically, we are studying the areas of configuration management, fault management, performance management, and application metrics and modeling. We are also investigating the tools, techniques and services needed to support the above management ap...
متن کاملFlexible Integration and Derivation of Heterogeneous Schemata in Federated Database Systems 1
In this report concepts for the process of schema integration and transformation in Federated Database Systems (FDBS) are suggested, which are exible in the integration of local and in the derivation of external schemata. An FDBS has to support diierent data models of local database systems. Furthermore, it has to ooer a means to derive external schemata, which can diier in their underlying dat...
متن کاملThe CORDS Multidatabase Project
In virtually every organization, data re stored in a variety of ways and managed by different database and file systems. Applications requiring data from multiple sources must recognize and deal with the specifics of each data source and must also perform any necessary data integration. The objective of a multidatabase system is to provide application developers and end users with an integrated...
متن کاملExtensional Issues in Schema Integration
To form a Cooperative Information System in which several preexisting information systems cooperate by means of database interoperability, a methodology for database schema integration is needed. Extensional issues should be taken into account in such a methodology. We show how objects in different databases that represent the same real world object may be correlated through an object identific...
متن کاملSchema Integration and View Derivation by Resolving Intensional andExtensional
The integration of schemata is a very essential but also a very complex task in a federated database environment. Especially the integration of diierent inheritance hierarchies into one hierarchy is not satisfactorily solved up to now. We show, why some existing approaches fail and propose a new algorithm, which further meets the demand for complete, correct and minimal integrated schemata. Fur...
