| Summary: | Integrating heterogeneous data in distributed
databases has been a research issue for many years. In
this paper, we discuss some of these problems and propose
a solution using a semantic model. This semantic
model is built upon the semantic relationships between
existing data. Applying these semantics enables us to take
into account different dimensions of user queries and find
the best possible answer for them. The proposed approach
leads us to introducing "a common language that is understandable
for all databases". We use such a common language
in order to return an effective response to the user’s
query, as well as reducing the problems of integration. |
