    In the last years the philosophies of open and linked data became more popular. Unfortunately most application are storing their data within different and heterogeneous models. By defining an integration framework information from different source can be represented in the same format, for instance as a topic map. In combination with the concept of virtual merging the integration layer can then provide a new view for remote data without any redundancy and caching. Every information about a real world subject could be concentrate in one data hub.

    The Problem

    ● Increasing amount of information

    ● Information stored in various heterogeneous data stores

    ● Redundancy

    ● Retrieve all information about a specific subject often difficult

    Live Integration Framework

    Why Topic Maps?

    ● Not exactly a new idea

    ● Subject centric presentation

    ● Merging of different data sources

    ● Adding additional semantic information

    Our Goal

    ● Support various storage technologies

    ● “Never touch a running system”

    ● Full read access

    ● “Live” view on the data

    Requirements

    ● Structured data

    ● Subjects need identities → Problem

    Current State

    ● Work in progress

    ● Implementation only for RDBMS so far

    ● Only MySQL

    ● Still some features to implement

    topicmapslab.de
    Live Integration Framework

    Current State

    ● Topics from single tables

    ● Unique key required

    ● Attributes to characteristics and Identifier

    ● Specify queries in mapping

    ● Associations from any combination of keys

    ● Specify types, scopes and datatypes

    ● Association reifier

    Future Work

    ● Support other storage technologies

    ● Improve mapping for RDBMS

    ● Support different RDBMS types (Postgres, Oracle, etc.)

    ● Allow limited write access

    ● Support temporary caching
