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

Amber: decoupling user data from web applications
Tej Chajed,Jon Gjengset,Jelle van den Hooff,M. Frans Kaashoek,James Mickens,Robert Morris,Nickolai Zeldovich +6 more
TL;DR: Amber is proposed, an architecture that decouples users' data from applications, while providing applications with powerful global queries to find user data and enables a new class of applications by removing the artificial partitioning of users'Data by application.

Semantic interoperation via intelligent mediation
TL;DR: Instead of a rich multidatabase language, the author advocates a language with minimal representational bias that addresses the critical issues in the semantic interoperation of heterogeneous data.

An ontology based approach to the integration of entity-relationship schemas
Qi He,Tok Wang Ling +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents algorithms to resolve schematic discrepancies by transforming metadata into the attribute values of entity types, keeping the information and constraints of original schemas.

SPICE: A Flexible Architecture for Integrating Autonomous Databases to Comprise a Distributed Catalogue of Life
Andrew Jones,Xiebiao Xu,Nick Pittas,William A. Gray,Nicholas John Fiddian,Richard White,John Robinson,F.A. Bisby,S.M. Brandt +8 more
TL;DR: This paper presents the architecture on which SPICE is being built, and explains how, within its SPICE architecture, it will be able to explore and develop new techniques to enhance access to the SPICE distributed database.

A comprehensive database schema integration method based on the theory of formal concepts
Ingo Schmitt,Gunter Saake +1 more
TL;DR: The GIM (Generic Integration Model) method is based on the elegant and mathematically founded theory of formal concept analysis (FCA) and applies an FCA-algorithm to semi-automatically derive a concept lattice which is interpreted as an inheritance hierarchy of classes for a homogenized schema.

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.
