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

Meta-data based mediator generation
TL;DR: This paper describes a meta-data framework, and associated software, designed to automate a significant portion of the mediator generation task and thereby reduce the effort involved in adapting to schema changes.

A Framework for Supporting Interoperability of Data Warehouse Islands Using XML
TL;DR: This paper presents a framework for providing interoperability of distributed, heterogeneous, and autonomous data warehouses based on a federated approach that focuses on schema integration using XML, which offers significant benefits for interoperability.

From Extensible Databases to Interoperability between Multiple Databases and GIS Applications
Hans-Jörg Schek,Andreas Wolf +1 more
TL;DR: This paper shows that its generalisation in an open distributed environment well supports the exchange of either (foreign) data or of ( foreign) operations between multiple geo-databases and several GIS application systems and in particular between databases and application-specific computation services.

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.
