Reconciling Equational Heterogeneity within a Data Federation

چکیده
Mappings in most federated databases are conceptualized and implemented as black-box transformations between source schemas and a federated schema. This approach does not allow specific mappings to be declared once and reused in other situations. We present an alternative approach, in which data-level mappings are represented independent of source and federated schemas as a network between “contexts”. This compendious representation expedites the data federation process via mapping reuse and automated mapping composition from simpler mappings. We illustrate the benefits of mapping reuse and composition by using an example that incorporates equational mappings and the application of symbolic equation solving techniques.

Some Practical Advice for Dealing with Semantic Heterogeneity in Federated Database Systems
For many organizations, database federation has become the preferred strategy for reconciling the proliferation of private and independent databases, and for increasing the productivity of their information technology investment. However, federation preserves the autonomy of the underlying systems, which are often based on different sets of assumptions. Hence, it does not directly address the p...
متن کاملDimension Compatibility for Data Mart Integration
The problem of integrating autonomous data marts arises when, e.g., a large organization (or a federation thereof) needs to combine independently developed data warehouses. It turns out that this problem can be tackled in a systematic way because of two main reasons. First, data marts are usually structured in a rather uniform way, along dimensions and facts. Second, data quality in data marts ...
متن کاملOn Specification Logics for Algebra-Coalgebra Structures: Reconciling Reachability and Observability
The paper builds on recent results regarding the expressiveness of modal logics for coalgebras in order to introduce a specification framework for coalgebraic structures which offers support for modular specification. An equational specification framework for algebraic structures is obtained in a similar way. The two frameworks are then integrated in order to account for structures comprising b...

متن کاملAnalysis of Language Legislation of All 85 Russian Federation’s Subjects (Regions)
The analysis of the language legislation of all 85 subjects of the Russian Federation shows complete heterogeneity and diversity. Common legal guidelines in Federal law do not exist, because Federal legislation is obsolete and is largely whitespace and conflict. The subjects of the Russian Federation, on whose territory different ethnic groups, both large and indigenous, historically live, solv...
