A Software Architecture for XML-Based Metadata Interchange in Data Warehouse Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interchanging metadata between software components of a data warehouse environment is the foundation for leveraging the various benefits of an integrated metadata management for data warehousing. Besides a common understanding of metadata syntax and semantics, both a standard interchange language and an interchange mechanism for metadata are needed. We therefore propose a software architecture for metadata interchange that incorporates a shared metamodel to agree on metadata syntax and semantics, XML as a standard interchange language, and XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) as a standard interchange mechanism.

A Model-Based Software Architecture for XML Data and Metadata Integration in Data Warehouse Systems
The demand for data integration is rapidly becoming larger as more and more information sources appear in modern enterprises. Extensible Mark-up Language is fast becoming the new standard for data representation and exchange on the World Wide Web, e.g., in B2B e-commerce, making it necessary for data analysis tools to handle XML data as well as traditional data formats. This paper presents arch...

متن کاملTool Integration: Experiences and Issues in Using XMI and Component Technology
It is impossible to implement one tool that supports all activities in software development. Thus, it is important to focus on integration of different tools, ideally giving developers the possibility to freely combine individual tools. We discuss how tools can be integrated even in the context of conflicting data models, and provide an architecture for doing so, based on component technology a...
متن کاملStatistical Metadata in Data Processing and Interchange
The term metadata is frequently considered in many different sciences. Statistical metadata is a term generally used to denote data about data. Modern statistical information systems (SIS) use metadata templates or complex object-oriented metadata models, making an extensive and active usage of metadata. Complex metadata structures cannot be stored efficiently using metadata templates. Furtherm...
متن کاملSoftware Development Guided By Models - The XIS UML Profile
The UML is used to detail high level software specifications that will be interpolated for XMI and XIS (XML Information Systems) as interchange formats based on XML. UML and XML are expected to be the next generation of modeling and data interchange standards respectively. In this paper, we describe the UML Profile for XIS architecture as a proposal for software development guided by UML models...
