Abstract

In any combination of database, a common agreement of the underlying instances concerned to a schema attribute may exist. A distributed database may therefore contain different schemas of same data attributes or different attributes classified from the same population. In this paper, we propose a common schema integration approach to integrating different autonomous agricultural databases of biorefining field of Miscanthus plants. We adopt a model, which is basically relational to some object-oriented properties. We describe methodologies to integrate heterogeneous distributed databases by using this model and show how attribute conflicts and missing attributes can be resolved. We also describe how a query on integrated global schema is managed in heterogeneous agricultural distributed database environment. We give a formal definition and perform extensive experiments to make this integration process strong enough.
