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

Scaling the walls of discovery: using semantic metadata for integrative problem solving
TL;DR: This work describes how a data architecture that leverages semantic mapping of experimental metadata allows scientists to discover and link relevant data across diverse data sources and provides a platform for development of integrative informatics applications.

Semi-automated schema integration with SASMINT
Ozgul Unal,Hamideh Afsarmanesh +1 more
TL;DR: The Semi-Automatic Schema Matching and INTegration (SASMINT) System introduced in this paper identifies and resolves several important syntactic, semantic, and structural conflicts among schemas of relational databases to find their likely matches automatically.
Services for Data Access and Data Processing on Grids
Chris Crone,Chaitan Baru +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a layer of grid data virtualization services that provide such transparency and enable ease of data access and processing and describes both the long-term vision for these services and a concrete proposal for what is achievable in the near term.

Integration of Conceptual Process Models by the Example of Event-driven Process Chains
Carlo Simon,Jan Mendling +1 more
TL;DR: This paper discusses how such integration can be conducted if the processes of both parties are modelled with Event-driven Process Chains, one of the most popular conceptual business process modelling languages.

A Scalable Architecture for Autonomous Heterogeneous Database Interactions
TL;DR: A scheme where database nodes are dynamically clustered around current, areas of ibresl, and data sharing is then pursued, with any relationship discovered being fed into the network for reclustering.

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.
