Theme
I-3: Integration of Heterogeneous Databases and Data Warehousing
– Prof. H. Bestougeff (France) and Dr. B. Thuraisingham (US)
Presentation abstracts
will appear here as soon as possible.
Quite frequently in
science and industry, data and information systems are and have
been built independently yielding highly heterogeneous and distributed
systems producing fragmented views of data and information. Heterogeneity
is found at different levels:
- Different data representations
and data models for similar objects.
- Different available
operators to manipulate information units and their relationship
(especially different reasoning strategies and tools found in
various knowledge-based systems).
- Semantic differences
and ambiguities (e.g., different meanings of one term in different
areas or organizations.
- Different user interfaces.
This creates a difficulty
as users need systems that are able to share and exchange information
on a global basis in such a way that it is not necessary to know
the detailed structure of each local data system and learn the
different access methods.
One way to meet this
objective is integration and standardization, emphasizing when
appropriate the information management aspect of the problem.
Subject oriented datawarehouses are, in this context, a particular
solution allowing further knowledge mining processes.
The goal of this Session
is to present and discuss the different approaches to integration
and datawarehousing.
