Information extraction and integration from heterogeneous, distributed, autonomous information sources - a federated ontology-driven query-centric approach

Abstract: This paper motivates and describes the data integration component of INDUS (Intelligent DataUndersianding System) environment for data-driven information extraction and integration from heterogeneous, distributed, autonomous information sources. The design of INDUS is motivated by the reqtrirements of applications such as scient@ discoveiy, in which it is desirable for users to be able to access, flexibly interpret, and analyze data from diverse sources from different perspectives in different contexts. INDUS … Show more

“…temporally); to display a data schema or to inform navigation through the data [22]. In particular cases, ontology-based visualization has been used to support queries based on temporal abstractions [23]; to enrich maps with additional geographic information [24]; to reveal multiple levels of abstraction in decision-tree generation [25] and to assist in information mining [26]; very popularly, to map social networks and communities of common interest [27], [28], [29]. Ontologies have also been used for knowledge discovery without visualization, especially in the integration of heterogeneous scientific repositories ( [30]).…”

“…They propose that meta-models of distributed data sources and classification schemes can only be solved successfully through the thorough development of a distributed application ontology. In Reinoso Castillo, et al, 6 an Intelligent Data Understanding System (INDUS) is described that is based on a federated architecture of distributed data sources. The INDUS project does not specifically call out autonomous agent technology as a key component, although their instantiator concept is similar in function to an agent.…”

“…In order to have the capacity to do so, data integration system must be able to do the following process: communication and interaction with data sources, unifying different queries in requester specifying vocabulary (ontology) across multiple autonomous, distributed and heterogeneous data sources, mapping techniques between requester ontology and the data source ontology, extracting information from the query with respect to the target data sources, and finally translating the query results to the requester vocabulary [4].…”
