Abstract
Mediators used to be developed as monolithic systems that envelop the data source’s information, such as its semantics and location. It involves a high degree of coupling among the mediator’s components. This coupling does not allow sharing services with other organizations or the dynamic integration of new data sources. We propose an architecture for conceptual mediation in which the sources’ query capabilities are published as web data services. This architecture also provides a way to achieve interoperability between applications in the Semantic Web context.
