The CALS integrated database is a key information technology in which CALS implements an information sharing system to enable digital data transfers for technical and non-technical information in distributed and heterogeneous environments. Such heterogeneously distributed CALS information needs to be systematically incorporated so that it can provide a global data view for CALS users. In this paper, we investigated the technologies of CALS integrated database, and proposed a system prototype to implement an integrated data environment (IDE) utilizing distributed object environments CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture).

CALS IDB (Integrated database) is one of core technologies that embodies the principle of a shared data environment for the life cycle related data in CALS environment. In this study, to successfully share the data, we first classified the data types employed in the CALS environment and then discussed the data heterogeneity issued in data integration processes. To effectively solve this heterogeneity, we proposed the federated database systems as a candidate system especially focusing on the major functions and core element technologies.
