A Generic Metadata Query Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses a generic query tool that enables an end user to query a metadata store through filters that impose search criteria on attributes. The Metadata Query Tool (MQT) is generic in the sense that it dynamically creates its user interface, based on configuration files that define the metadata scheme and the query functionalities. Although the tool can in principle be used to query any (view on a) relational database, we have developed it to query educational metadata, stored in the ARIADNE Knowledge Pool System [Forte, Wentland & Duval 1997].

The lack of a broader acceptance of today’s pure ODBMS (as represented by the ODMG standard) brought many questions concerning the necessary changes of their architecture. One of the issues worth reconsidering is the design of a metamodel that would make metadata operations simpler and the underlying data model more evolvable and extensible. In this paper we discuss the implications of proposed...

This is no longer sufficient however, as more and more users demanded the flexibility and ability to access video content selectively. Unlike textual information however, video bits do not convey same le...
متن کاملA Metadata Integration Assistant Generator for Heterogeneous Distributed Databases
This paper describes a metadata interchange approach for semi-automated integration of heterogeneous distributed databases. Our system prototype uses distributed metadata to generate a GUI tool for a meta-user (who does the metadata integration) to describe mappings between master and local databases by assigning index numbers and specifying conversion function names; the system uses Quilt as i...
