Designing, Specifying and Querying Metadata for Virtual Data Integration Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how to specify and use the metadata for a virtual and relational data integration system under the local-as-view (LAV) approach. We use XML and RuleML for representing metadata, like the global and local schemas, the mappings between the former and the latter, and global integrity constraints. XQuery is used to retrieve relevant information for query planning. The system uses an extended inverse rules algorithm for computing certain answers that is provably correct for monotone relational global queries. For query answering, evaluation engines for answer set programs on relational databases are used. The programs declaratively specify the legal instances of the integration system.

GenoQuery: a new querying module for functional annotation in a genomic warehouse
MOTIVATION We have to cope with both a deluge of new genome sequences and a huge amount of data produced by high-throughput approaches used to exploit these genomic features. Crossing and comparing such heterogeneous and disparate data will help improving functional annotation of genomes. This requires designing elaborate integration systems such as warehouses for storing and querying these dat...
متن کاملRelational Technologies, Metadata and RDF
Metadata plays an important role in successfully understanding and querying data on the web. A number of metadata management solutions have already been developed but each is tailored to specific kinds of metadata. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a generic, flexible and powerful model which is becoming the de-facto standard for metadata representation on the Web. Its adoption has cr...
متن کاملA Metadata Integration Assistant Generator for Heterogeneous Distributed Databases
This paper describes a metadata interchange approach for semi-automated integration of heterogeneous distributed databases. Our system prototype uses distributed metadata to generate a GUI tool for a meta-user (who does the metadata integration) to describe mappings between master and local databases by assigning index numbers and specifying conversion function names; the system uses Quilt as i...

transformation models are able to be extended unlimitedly in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Fig. 6: Recursive Models: (a)recursive visualizations; (b)recursive queries; (c)iterative model. Figure 7 not only shows the result of visualizing a visualization, but also gives a visualization for the mapping itself. Figure 8 presents querying on queries by specifying query terms on the q...
متن کاملThe Role of Ontologies in Data Integration
In this paper, we discuss the use of ontologies for data integration. We consider two different settings depending on the system architecture: central and peer-to-peer data integration. Within those settings, we discuss five different cases studies that illustrate the use of ontologies in metadata representation, in global conceptualization, in high-level querying, in declarative mediation, and...
