A federated database system (FDBS) is a collection of cooperating database systems that are autonomous and possibly heterogeneous. In this paper, we define a reference architecture for distributed database management systems from system and schema viewpoints and show how various FDBS architectures can be developed. We then define a methodology for developing one of the popular architectures of an FDBS. Finally, we discuss critical issues related to developing and operating an FDBS.read more

XML data integration in OGSA grids
Carmela Comito,Domenico Talia +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a framework for integrating heterogeneous XML data sources distributed among the nodes of a Grid and proposes a query reformulation algorithm to combine and query XML documents through a decentralized point-to-point mediation process among the different data sources based on schema mappings.

Cooperation strategies for agent-based P2P systems
TL;DR: This paper uses the i* modeling framework to analyze and evaluate peer agent cooperation strategies using three possible evaluation criteria and proposes an agent-based P2P model whose nodes are software agents (peer agents).

Model composition in a distributed environment
TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of model composition when data sources (models and data) are distributed across multiple sites and have different scopes.

The entity-relationship model: toward a unified view of data
TL;DR: A data model, called the entity-relationship model, is proposed that incorporates some of the important semantic information about the real world and can be used as a basis for unification of different views of data: the network model, the relational model, and the entity set model.

A comparative analysis of methodologies for database schema integration
TL;DR: The aim of the paper is to provide first a unifying framework for the problem of schema integration, then a comparative review of the work done thus far in this area, providing a basis for identifying strengths and weaknesses of individual methodologies, as well as general guidelines for future improvements and extensions.
