Abstract

To utilize the full potential of structured or semi-structured data stored across different information systems, users and applications must not be confronted directly with the individual, heterogeneous data sources, but instead be supplied with a customized integrated view on the data. Traditional information integration is relying on a human-driven process to accomplish this task. While feasible in static, closed-world scenarios, this approach fails in settings like the nascent data grids, which are characterized by a large, permanently changing set of autonomous data sources. We describe the end-to-end integration approach underlying our PALADIN project which aims to reduce and ultimately eliminate the dependency on human experts in the integration process in order to provide fast and cost-effective integration services for these dynamic environments.
