Abstract:

Many data sharing communities create data standards (“hub” schemata) to speed information integration by increasing reuse of both data definitions and mappings. Unfortunately, creation of these standards and the mappings to the enterprise's implemented systems is both time consuming and expensive. This paper presents Unity, a novel tool for speeding the development of a community vocabulary, which includes both a standard schema and the necessary mappings. We present Unity's scalable algorithms for creating vocabularies and its novel human computer interface which gives the integrator a powerful environment for refining the vocabulary. We then describe Unity's extensive reuse of data structures and algorithms from the OpenII information integration framework, which not only sped the construction of Unity but also results in reuse of the artifacts produced by Unity: vocabularies serve as the basis of information exchanges, and also can be reused as thesauri by other tools within the OpenII framework. Unity has been applied to real U.S. government information integration challenges.
