چکیده

Many important Management Support Systems require seamless access to and integration of multiple heterogeneous database systems. This paper studies heterogeneous database systems from the source perspective. It aims at addressing issues such as the following: (1) Where is the data from? (2) Which intermediate data sources were used to arrive at that data? Specifically, it presents a polygen model for resolving the Data Source Tagging and Intermediate Source Tagging problems. In addition, it presents the necessary and sufficient condition for source tagging. Source knowledge is important for many reasons. It enables users to apply their own judgment to the credibility of the information. It enables users to rationalize and reconcile data inconsistencies. It enables system designers to develop access charge systems. It enables an application user to adjust data. It enables a system to interpret data semantics more accurately. In sum, it justifies having source tagging capabilities as a required functionality for future heterogeneous database systems.

A Polygen Model for Heterogeneous Database Systems: The Source Tagging Perspective

This paper studies heterogeneous database systems from the multiple (poly) source @rrt) perspective. It aims at addressing issues such as “where is the data from” and “which intermediate data sources were used to arrive at that data” issues which are critical to many users in utilizing information composed from multiple sources. Specifically, it presents a polygen model for resolving the Data S...

A New Approach for Knowledge Based Systems Reduction using Rough Sets Theory (RESEARCH NOTE)

Problem of knowledge analysis for decision support system is the most difficult task of information systems. This paper presents a new approach based on notions of mathematical theory of Rough Sets to solve this problem. Using these concepts a systematic approach has been developed to reduce the size of decision database and extract reduced rules set from vague and uncertain data. The method ha...

Schema Evolution in Heterogeneous Database Architectures, A Schema Transformation Approach

From: ‘Advanced Information Systems Engineering’, 14th International Conference, CAiSE 2002, A. Banks Pidduck et al (Eds), Springer Verlag LNCS 2348, Pages 484-499, 2002 This paper presents a new approach to schema evolution, which combines the activities of schema integration and schema evolution into one framework. In previous work we have developed a general framework to support schema trans...
