An ontology-based approach for integrating heterogeneous databases

An ontology-based approach for integrating heterogeneous databases

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 semanti...
