A serious problem facing many organizations today is the need to use information from multiple data sources that have been developed separately. Conflicts in the structure and semantics of these disparate data sources create major obstacles to effective use. We have previously described our data mediation approach to this problem in which the structure and semantics of each database is defined by mapping data elements onto a common ontology expressed as a conceptual schema. Here we report our…

An ODBC CORBA-Based Data Mediation Service

TLDR
The implementation of a CORBA-based mediation service with ODBC drivers is reported, making mediation convenient for a wider class of applications and switching to any data source registered with the mediator simply by plugging in the drivers and specifying the mediation service as the data source.

Query Translation and Where Clause Processing in Data Mediation

TLDR
This paper describes the solution, which involves splitting the where clause into a translatable portion to be processed in the foreign database, and an untranslatable portion in the mediator.

Data Mediation in a Grid Environment

TLDR
This paper describes how the development of a data mediation service is easily extended to provide transparency and distributed query processing in a grid environment where a single query may require combining data from multiple sources.

TLDR
The Internet delay emulator (IDEM) is a software tool that captures the network details and reproduces an environment useful for research oriented projects and rigorous testing shows that actual delay in data sent is accurately modeled by IDEM.

Conditional Mapping in Data Mediation

TLDR
The data mediation approach relies on a common ontology that can be used to describe the structure and semantics of each of the systems that wish to participate in the information sharing, and it is found that these mappings sometimes depend on thevalue of a data element or the value of some other element of the same tuple.

Context interchange: new features and formalisms for the intelligent integration of information

TLDR
It is shown that queries formulated on shared views, export schema, and shared “ontologies” can be mediated in the same way using the Context Interchange framework.

Model-based mediation with domain maps

Proposes an extension to current view-based mediator systems called "model-based mediation", in which views are defined and executed at the level of conceptual models (CMs) rather than at the…

Using semantic values to facilitate interoperability among heterogeneous information systems

TLDR
A theory of semantic values as a unit of exchange that facilitates semantic interoperability betweeen heterogeneous information systems is provided and it is shown how semantic values can either be stored explicitly or be defined by environments.

XML data mediation and collaboration: a proposed comprehensive architecture and query requirements for using XML to mediate heterogeneous data sources and targets

  • P. Lowry
  • Computer Science
    Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences
  • 2001
TLDR
The paper discusses the potential of using XML technologies as mediators for accessing and processing structured, relational data and semi-structured data over the Internet and presents a more comprehensive framework for this architecture.

XML's Impact on Databases and Data Sharing

The Extensible Markup Language, HTML's likely successor for capturing much Web content, is receiving a great deal of attention from the computing and Internet communities. Although the hype raises…

GLUE: Using Heterogeneous Sources of Information in a Logic Programming System

TLDR
Examples are presented which show that disjunctive facts or equivalent means are needed to treat quite natural problems adequately and to take into consideration the semantics of the external sources of information.

Local Relational Model: A Logical Formalization of Database Coordination

TLDR
The main result of the paper generalizes Reiter's characterization of a relational database in terms of a first order theory by providing a syntactic characterization of the relational space in Terms of a multi-context system.

Practical Context Transformation for Information System Interoperability

This paper discusses the use of contextual reasoning, i.e. context transformation for achieving semantic interoperability in heterogeneous information systems. We introduce terminological contexts…

XML-based information mediation with MIX

TLDR
The MIX mediator system, MIX, uses XML as the common model for data exchange and employs XML DTDs as a structural description (in effect, a “schema”) of the exchanged data to facilitate user-friendly query formulation and for optimization purposes.
