Evolution Management of Data Integration Systems by the Means of Ontological Continuity Principle

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Recent Trends in Information Reuse and Integration

Abstract

Digital repositories of information are springing up everywhere and interconnectivity between computers around the world is being established which creates a mine of information. Many studies and integration systems were proposed to exploit this information by providing end users and decision makers a unified view of this information. The spectrum ranges from early multi-database systems

Notes

  1. 1.

    C denotes the power set of C.

  2. 2.

    C 1 subsumes C 2 iff ∀x ∈ C 2, x ∈ C 1.

  3. 3.

    Note that ∀i: \({C}_{i} \cap C = \phi \), each source populates only local classes.

  4. 4.

    All articulation mapping ensure the S2CR3 requirements.

  5. 5.

    Another integration scenario, called ProjOnto, assumes that source instances are extracted after a projection operation on the shared ontology.

  6. 6.

    Or (t min , t max ) if timestamps are used.
