Abstract
Tools of existing frameworks can easily share data between each other by its integrated database system but data access to external database systems, file systems, or other frameworks is often not supported. We propose to incorporate database federation services into a framework to enhance the data openness of frameworks. These services allow a coupling of the frameworks database with external database systems while the autonomy of the individual database systems is preserved. Thereby, existing framework or database applications can continue running without any change. On the other hand, framework applications are enabled to access data of multiple databases uniformly and transparently via the old, possibly extended framework interface. This paper introduces the architecture of the proposed database federation services and presents two alternatives of their incorporation into a framework. The practical relevance is shown in an industrial environment where a framework is opened to the data of another framework and a PC database.
