WIT: A Tool for Integrating Web-Accessible Data

Abstract

The proliferation of World Wide Web accessible information sources has introduced the problem of integrating those sources into unified views of the data. Web-accessible data of interest can be customized and tied together in any number of ways and using a variety of possible techniques to result in structures known as datawebs. Collaborators and others with a desire for unified views of multiple datawebs face the challenge of being able to integrate such webs without actually exercising any control or ownership over them. Such integration can be simplified when standard dataweb architectures and construction techniques are used. This paper discusses approaches to simplifying the integration problem and describes a Web Integration Tool (WIT) that has been constructed to aid in the automated integration of Web-accessible data.
