Generation of Conceptual Wrappers for Legacy Databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
One way to solve the heterogeneity problem of distributed legacy databases consists in wrapping them as objects that can be queried for retrieval and updating. This paper presents the InterDB approach for the generation of conceptual wrappers for legacy databases. The generated wrapper is a software layer that offers a conceptual interface based on the conceptual schema of the wrapped database. The InterDB approach provides a complete methodology for conceptual schema recovery (through reverse engineering) and mapping building. The methodology is supported by the DB-MAIN CASE tool that helps generate the wrapper.

Garlic is a middleware system that provides an integrated view of a variety of legacy data sources, without changing how or where data is stored. In this paper, we describe our architecture for wrappers, key components of Garlic that encapsulate data sources and mediate between them and the middleware. Garlic wrappers model legacy data as objects, participate in query planning, and provide stan...

متن کاملBridging the Gap between Legacy Services and Web Services
Web Services is an increasingly used instantiation of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) that relies on standard Internet protocols to produce services that are highly interoperable. Other types of services, relying on legacy application layer protocols, however, cannot be composed directly. A promising solution is to implement wrappers to translate between the application layer protocols and...
متن کاملTaming Web Sources with "Minute-Made" Wrappers
The Web has become a major conduit to information repositories of all kinds. Today, more than 80% of information published on the Web is generated by underlying databases and this proportion keeps increasing. In some cases, database access is only granted through a Web gateway using forms as a query language and HTML as a display vehicle. In order to permit inter-operation (between Web sources ...

The Cooperative Architecture, defined in the context of the Unitary Network of the Italian Public Administration, is perhaps the most ambitious project undertaken by the Italian Authority for Information Systems in Public Administration (A.I.P.A.). The goal of the architecture is to facilitate the interoperation at the application level of the autonomous and heterogeneous information systems of...
