TLDR
In this paper, the authors define a reference architecture for distributed database management systems from system and schema viewpoints and show how various FDBS architectures can be developed, and define a methodology for developing one of the popular architectures of an FDBS.Abstract:
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

Method and system for providing access to remotely hosted services through a normalized application programming interface
TL;DR: In this paper, a server system having one or more processors and memory receives, from a client, a generic request to access remotely hosted services and sends the respective API-specific request to the respective remotely hosted service.

Ontology Merging for Federated Ontologies for the Semantic Web
Gerd Stumme,Alexander Maedche +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents the method FCA–MERGE for merging ontologies following a bottom-up approach which offers a structural description of the merging process and applies techniques from natural language processing and formal concept analysis to derive a lattice of concepts as a structural result of FCA-MERGE.

Semantic Interoperability of Web Services - Challenges and Experiences
TL;DR: Challenges to interoperability are examined; the types of heterogeneities that can occur between interacting services are classified; and a possible solution for data mediation using the mapping support provided by WSDL-S, the extensibility features of W SDL and the popular SOAP engine, Axis 2 is presented.

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.
