| Abstract | One of the principles of database integration is that databases should allow a
nonredundant, unified representation of data across organizations. Database integration in
heterogeneous databases is a highly complex task, since there are usually differences in structures,
semantics and behaviors of data. In the present work, the object-oriented approach, which
provides a means to capture relatively more semantics than conventional ones, has been
employed to yield an easier and more reliable integration process.
A data model based on object-oriented approach has been developed to be the interlingua
to which schemas defined by various conventional data models will be mapped. Translation
processes for such mappings are presented. Finally, an integration process to unify translated
schemas is given. |
