A metadata management framework for dynamic information integration

Abstract

SUMMARYOne necessary factor in the success of data grid technology to share structured and semi-structured data across organizational boundaries is the availability of convenient, easy-to-use information integration services that provide an application-specific, integrated view over the relevant data sources. To deal with the many challenges of information integration in such a dynamic environment, the integrated handling of metadata is an essential factor. In this paper, we present the PALADIN integration framework, a platform providing the common infrastructure on top of which the different integration services can be built.

“…The paper authored by Göres and Dessloch [1] presents the PALADIN Integration Framework that allows the integrated representation of arbitrary data, metadata, and operations. On top of it different integration services can be more efficiently built, as their describing metadata have already been integrated.…”
