Data integration points

Introduction 

Identifying integration points helps you to pinpoint the technological requirements related to your process model, which you need to know before you can configure the appropriate components to execute the work. Be specific in naming the applications that must be integrated. A data integration point refers to the data elements that comprise a data entity, such as an account data entity, that are synchronized between Siebel CRM and Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking. Integration points are points at which documents within your process move from one system or application to another. Communication Adapters for Integration. Adapters perform activities that control the transmission of business process data between Sterling B2B Integrator and external applications.

Ontology-based data integration involves the use of one or more ontologies to effectively combine data or information from multiple heterogeneous sources. It is one of the multiple data integration approaches and may be classified as Global-As-View (GAV). The effectiveness of ontology‑based data integration is closely tied to the consistency and expressivity of the ontology used in the integration process.

Abstract

The Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA) systems allows users to access external databases through a conceptual domain view, given in terms of an ontology. This semantic technology addresses such problems as conceptual modeling, query rewriting, an source-to-target mapping. We show how these issues have been defined and implemented in the DAFO system, highlighting those features that distinguish it from the standard OBDA system. We propose an original approach to cope with the trade-off between expressiveness of the ontology-based conceptual modelling and ontology-mediated query rewriting in the DAFO systems. For this purpose, we divide ontological rules into three parts: (a) rewriting rules, (b) rules defining intensional predicates (views), and (c) constraint rules (satisfied in the database). This allows to balance the semantic power of the conceptual modeling and the effciency of query answering in the DAFO system, where queries are based on the faceted query paradigm. 

An ontology-based data integration(OBDI) system is an information management system consisting of three components: an ontology, a set of data sources, and the mapping between the two. The ontology is a conceptual, formal description of the domain of interest to a given organization (or a community of users), expressed in terms of relevant concepts, attributes of concepts, relationships between concepts, and logical assertions characterizing the domain knowledge. The data sources are the repositories accessible by the organization where data concerning the domain are stored. In the general case, such repositories are numerous, heterogeneous, each one managed and maintained independently from the others. The mapping is a precise specification of the correspondence between the data contained in the data sources and the elements of the ontology. The main purpose of an OBDI system is to allow information consumers to query the data using the elements in the ontology as  process of combining data from different sources into a single, unified view. Integration begins with the ingestion process, and includes steps such as cleansing, ETL mapping, and transformation.

TRANSITION::: A side of me no one knew™

 As a kid growing up was good but i always stood out from my peers, I was never part of a group, even when i try to fit in the energy is always off-key, i never understood but i knew i was different. From my elementary till i was through with high school, I was among the dullest in class and always prefer the back-sit. As soon I got admitted into college, my first semester made me discover my intellectual perception and acknowledgeable facts that i never knew i had.. i.e ( when taking tutorials i answer questions without ever opening my handouts ) i mostly read only during exam's , i was a three part-time job and never failed a course till i got to my third year. All those years i was still battling with being understood and belonging not knowing the universe was busy setting me up for whom I'm really meant to become ( my true self ). At a point in life before graduation the universe aligned three (3) different individuals from same province but with different backgrounds and p...

Blinded truth: The hidden facts about religion

Introduction  I believe in the existence of God but religion itself doesn't sit right with me. Am an idealist who prefers fact and logic over theoritical way of reason. In my own formalities /perspective, religion is a pattern which was established to extort and exploit the shallow mind's of the Masses, leading to mental slavery ( sociological and psychological Enslavery ) - ( modern day slavery )The willingness of the mind to accept a pattern of practice being introduced to destabilize an existing process. This article highlights the deformity and primitive deception religion portrays. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF REASON  It baffles me the way people blindly accept formulated doctrines and teachings of the old world that was programmed in an idiological manner with solely one reason capitalism. The westerners have imprinted this model of exploration in Africa in such a strategical process even to an extent of recruiting African's in the name of doing the lord's work hiding the co...

Perception: The Wailing of a Lost Mind

  Perception is a powerful force that shapes how we interpret and interact with the world around us. It influences our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, painting our reality in unique hues. The wailing of a lost mind speaks to the intricate dance between what is real and what is perceived, highlighting the complexities of the human experience. In the vast expanse of perceptions, the mind can often wander into dark and tumultuous territories, where shadows loom large and echoes reverberate endlessly. It is in these moments of confusion and disarray that the true weight of perception becomes apparent. The mind, like a lost soul adrift in a sea of uncertainty, grasps for meaning amidst the chaos, yearning for a glimmer of clarity to guide its way. As we navigate the intricate landscape of our perceptions, we must acknowledge the profound impact they have on our mental well-being and emotional state. The wailing of a lost mind is a poignant reminder of the fragility of our perceptions...
