Miro Web: Integrating Multiple Data Sources through Semistructured Data Types
نویسندگان
چکیده
The MIROWeb Esprit project has developed a unique technology to integrate multiple data sources through an object-relational model with semistructured data types. It addresses the problem of integrating irregular Web sources and regular relational databases through a mediated architecture based on a hybrid model, supporting relational, object and semistructured features. The project data exchange format is XML, the new standard of the Web, and the pivot language is XMLQL, a query language based on XML templates from AT&T. The demonstration will show the data warehousing approach for mediation, based on Oracle 8 and a semistructured cartridge developed in the project for supporting XML and XMLQL queries.

MIX - A Representation Model for the Integration of Web-based Data
Today, the Internet can be seen as a global marketplace populated by a huge number of providers and consumers that exchange data from a wide range of domains. A combination of data from different sources for further automatic processing is often hindered by differences in the underlying modeling assumptions and representation. In addition, the available sources are in most cases semistructured,...
متن کاملIntegrating Heterogeneous Tourism Information in TIScover– The MIRO-Web Approach
A broad spectrum of tourism information is already distributed over various web sites. However, a major problem for the tourist is to find these web sites and to deal with the differences concerning information presentation and information access. At the same time, it is not feasible to store every kind of information a tourist might be interested in at one web site neither in terms of storage ...
متن کاملQuerying Semistructured Heterogeneous Information
Semistructured data has no absolute schema xed in advance and its structure may be irregular or incomplete. Such data commonly arises in sources that do not impose a rigid structure (such as the World-Wide Web) and when data is combined from several heterogeneous sources. Data models and query languages designed for well structured data are inappropriate in such environments. Starting with a \l...
متن کاملRepresentative Objects: Concise Representations of Semistructured, Hierarchical Data
In this paper we introduce the representative object, which uncovers the inherent schema(s) in semistructured, hierarchical data sources and provides a concise description of the structure of the data. Semistructured data, unlike data stored in typical relational or object-oriented databases, does not have fixed schema that is known in advance and stored separately from the data. With the rapid...
متن کاملIntegrating FLOSS repositories on the Web
This paper provides a novel approach to the problem of integrating data from multiple code forges of FLOSS. We review the current problems in integrating the data from multiple forges and argue that Semantic Web technologies are suitable for representing knowledge contained in code forges. Further, we show the advantage of linking the metadata of projects to other data sources on the Web which ...
