A JDBC Driver Supporting Data Source Integration and Evolution

Abstract

The objective of this work is to create a Java DataBase Connectivity (JDBC) driver that allows access to multiple data sources simultaneously. Unlike existing relational database systems and query tools, the JDBC driver will have several important benefits: 1) The driver can be integrated into existing and future Java programs and be used to isolate applications from integration challenges. 2) A semantic query language that allows users and applications to specify queries without referencing exact structures. 3) Ability to handle incomplete, inconsistent, or missing data. 4) Automatic, dynamic integration for fast information fusion of multiple sources. The integration result can be iteratively refined as more information about the data source structure and contents become available. The contribution of this work is twofold. First, cutting-edge research will be performed on data source fusion and query interfaces for integration systems. Second, an actual integration product, the JDBC driver, will be produced that will allow the Army and others to exploit integration research in a convenient form for ongoing development and testing.
