Conversion Rules from Disparate Data Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
The successful integration of data from autonomous and heterogeneous systems calls for the resolution of semantic conflicts that may be present. Such conflicts are often reflected by discrepancies in attribute values of the same data object. In this paper, we describe a recently developed prototype system, DIRECT (DIscovering and REconciling ConflicTs). The system mines data value conversion rules in the process of integrating business data from multiple sources. The system architecture and functional modules are described. The process of discovering conversion rules from sales data of a trading company is presented as an illustrative example.

متن کاملDiscovering and reconciling value conflicts for numerical data integration
The built-up in Information Technology capital fueled by the Internet and cost-effectiveness of new telecommunications technologies has led to a proliferation of information systems that are in dire need to exchange information but incapable of doing so due to the lack of semantic interoperability. It is now evident that physical connectivity (the ability to exchange bits and bytes) is no longe...
متن کاملMapping Rules for Er to Xml Using Xml Schema
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) has emerged as a de facto standard language for exchanging data among disparate information systems. Since the majority of data in the world is stored in databases, the conversion of such data into XML documents is indispensable for real world usage. In this paper, we propose the algorithm for mapping the Entity Relationship model (ER model) to the XML docum...
متن کاملScalability of Semantic Information Integration and the Context Mediation Approach
Technological advances such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) have increased the feasibility and importance of effectively integrating information from an ever widening number of systems within and across enterprises. A key difficulty of achieving this goal comes from the pervasive heterogeneity in all levels of information systems. A robust solution to this problem needs to be adaptable, ...
