Abstract
During these last years, databases have been produced with respect to various user requirements and implemented by different technologies. The stored information is still valuable, but two important problems must be solved to create new target systems: these are database integration and legacy systems modernization. This paper presents a methodology that explicitly defines how the different integration steps must be inserted in the context of the evolution of legacy systems. The final section revisits the correspondence search problem in order to illustrate a particular important step of the integration methodology.
