Recently, many researches have been conducted to solve data heterogeneity as a way for data integration. The elements of the system that we suggest are an XMDR wrapper and XMDR Repository. XMDR wrapper solves the heterogeneity of the existing system by creating the interface based on the standard information of XMDR, and performing the inter-conversion between global XMDR query and local query using mapping data on standard information and local schema. XMDR Repository are composed of XMDR which manages the mapping data on standard information and local schema, and of Proxy DB which saves the accomplished results. With XMDR wrapper and XMDR Repository, users can use the same interface, and they need not conduct repeated queries since XMDR wrapper not only solves the heterogeneity of the schema using the meta-semantic ontology of XMDR, but also considers the heterogeneity accompanying the meaning of the value through instance semantic ontology. Therefore, in this paper we suggest the grid wrapper for the solution of data heterogeneity and efficient data integration.

In the enterprises the data integration based on service requires integrated data management as the change in the environment of enterprises accelerates. Cooperation among enterprises is accomplished through accessing distributed database using business process. As this approach is performed based on the global query, problems such as data heterogeneity, schema heterogeneity, and verification of validity have to be solved in advance for the interoperability among the heterogeneous system. Thus, cooperation requires dynamic and reliable construction. In this paper, we propose XMDR-DSM (eXtended MetaData Registry-Data Service Mediator) system for cooperation. XMDR-DSM, which is comprised of XMDR-DS, XMDR-DQP, and XMDR-DAI, supports the mapping between global schema and local schema and provides data access and integration service. Therefore, XMDR-DSM enables the mutual support of business operations among heterogeneous database. In addition, it can secure information as reusable asset and the standardization of interchange. Also it can manage unified information since it provides business process based on workflow; therefore, it will be able to increase the life span of information and reduce the cost.

In this paper, we propose XMDR(XML Metadata Registry) to guarantee the interoperability of data in distributed database, and describe a data synchronizing agent system using it. The proposal of XMDR is to solve the data heterogeneity problem in the sharing and exchanging data. Data heterogeneity problem is generated by different definition or mismatching expression of the same information. Therefore, we define XMDR with XML document by analyzing data elements based on MDR specification. The proposed synchronizing agent system using XMDR not only solves data heterogeneity for data interoperability in synchronizing data but also provides more efficient the agent system by offering errors of low frequency in the number of systems and requests of synchronizing data.

As most of the data configuration at distributed environment has a tree structure following the hierarchical classification, relative data retrieve is limited. Among these data, the data stored in a database has a problem in integration and efficient retrieve. Accordingly, we suggest the system that uses XMDR for distributed database integration and links XMDR to TopicMap for efficient retrieve of knowledge expressed hierarchically. We proposes a plan for efficient integration retrieve through using the XMDR which is composed of Meta Semantic Ontology, Instance Semantic Ontology and meta location, solves data heterogeneity and metadata heterogeneity problem and integrates them, and replaces the occurrence of the TopicMap with the Meta Location of the XMDR, which expresses the resource location of TopicMap by linking Meta Semantic Ontology and Instance Semantic Ontology of XMDR to the TopicMap.

Recently, XML has been widely used as a standard for a data exchange, and there has emerged the tendency that the size of XML document becomes larger. The data transfer can cause problems due to the increase in traffic, especially when a massive data such as Data Warehouse is being collected and analyzed. Therefore, an XMDR wrapper can solve this problem since it analyzes the tree structures of XML Schema, regenerates XML Schema using the analyzed tree structures, and sends it to each station with an XMDR Query. XML documents which are returned as an outcome encode XML tags according to XML Schema, and send standardized messages. As the formalized XML documents decrease network traffic and comprise XML class information, they are efficient for extraction, conversion, and alignment of data. In addition, they are efficient for the conversion process through XSLT, too, as they have standardized forms. In this paper we profuse a method in which XML Schema and XMDR_Query sent to each station are generated through XMDR(extended Meta-Data Registry) and the generation of products and XML conversion occur in each station wrapper.

최근 기업들은 분산된 조직과 각 조직의 목적에 따라 데이터베이스도 분산되어 있기 때문에 이들 간의 공유 및 협업을 통한 상호 운용성을 지원하기 어려우므로 일관적인 형태로 연동하기 위해서 메타데이터 수준의 표준이 필요하다. 또한 협업적인 거래환경에서의 EAI시스템은 다양한 정보 시스템에서 관리되는 지식들을 유기적으로 통합하고 공유함으로서 효율적인 검색 및 비용절감 등 많은 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 시스템은 특정 목적에 따라 관리되고 공유되므로 사실상 통합 외 공유에는 상당한 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제시하는 XMDR은 온톨로지와 메타데이터 결합된 형태로 각종 표준들을 일관적인 형태로 온톨로지와 시소러스 개념을 도입함으로서 데이터수준의 정보를 통합 하기위한 메타데이터 공유 및 정보 시스템 통합의 일관성을 유지 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제시되는 브리지 XMDR 검색시스템은 원시데이터 계층, XMDR 계층. 브리지 XMDR 계층으로 3계층으로 구성된다. XMDR 계층은 분산된 데이터베이스의 속성표현의 표준과 관계성을 정의한 표준 온톨로지, 카테고리 분류 온틀로지, 사이트의 정보를 제공하는 로케이션 온톨로지로 구성되는 XMDR을 정의한다. 브리지 XMDR 계층은 XMDR간의 정보를 공유하기 위한 공유 도메인 속성을 추출한 하이브리드 통합방식으로 업무간의 의미적 통합이 가능하다.

Much research on ontology has been done during the last decade in order to represent knowledge and connect data semantically in AI and Semantic Web areas. However, ontologies might be represented and defined in different ways depending on knowledge and intention of users. It causes heterogeneity problem that the same concept can be differently expressed. This paper introduces a XOB (XMDR-based Ontology Builder) system based on XMDR to resolve the problem. XOB creates ontologies by reusing classes and relations defined in XMDR. XOB therefore is able to either solve or minimize the heterogeneity problem among ontologies. This paper introduces the conceptual model and overall architecture of the proposed system XOB. This paper defines the process, algorithm, ontology generation rule that is required to create ontologies by using concepts registered in XMDR. Our proposal supports higher standardization than the previous approaches, and it provides many advantages such as consistent concept usage, easy semantic exchange, and so on. Therefore, XOB enables high-quality ontology creation and reduces cost for ontology integration and system development.

Recently, enterprise systems require the necessity of integration for data sharing and cooperation. As a methodology for integration, Service-Oriented Architecture for service integration and Master Data for integration of data, which is used for service, were appeared. This paper suggests a method that operates BP(Business Process) efficiently. We make XMDR(eXtended Meta Data Registry) as knowledge-repository to support the BP and construct data hubs to operate it. XMDR manages MDM(Master Data Management) to integrate the data, resolves heterogeneity between the data and provides relationship to the business efficiently. This is composed of MDR(Meta Data Registry), ontology and BR(Business Relations). MDR describes relationship between meta data to solve structured heterogeneity. Ontology describes semantic heterogeneity and relationship between data. BR describes relationship between tasks. XMDR data hub supports the management of master data and interaction of different process effectively.

We propose Framework that (should) have data interoperability between Legacy DataBases using Proxy DataBases based on XMDR(eXtended Meta-Data Registry) Data Hub in this papers. It may occur some problems among data structure, semantics and other heterogeneous problems between interoperability of legacy DB on cooperation environment. Also, It is hard to keep consistency of Data that changes on realtime, regardless of data variety and type. In this paper, Using XMDR data hub, we solve the problem that was occurred by data integration and interoperability between legacy DB. We suggest the framework which are compatible with any class and type of interoperability-data and offer accurate information with consistency in real-time using proxy database.

In this paper, we propose a social-based collaboration systems for business process management in the mobile cloud. This XMDR-DAI is to provide services for data sharing and exchange between local systems that operate independently in a cloud environment, take charge of a social-based collaborative business process management. Social-based collaborative business processes are handled in a collision among a structure such as unit conversion, meaning conflict, and the schema mapping data resulting from the inner query. The conflict was resolved by mapping process which takes in each XMDR-DAI.
