Abstract

Data integration is the process of combining data from several different sources into a unified view, making it more actionable and valuable to access by different users with diverse interests. Among data integration approaches, figure prominently databases, cloud computing and web services. With the progression of the technology, mostly in the internet domain, we are facing a proliferation of websites with a high level of data redundancy. Several of those websites evolve in the same domain of activity. To limit the proliferation of websites that content mostly the same information, we propose in this paper, a data integration model based on web services and databases. This double data integration based on a services registry that content main web services in relationship with information contained in a database, respect a specific taxonomy for a specific domain. In this paper, we focus our research on the domain of gastronomy. In order to construct our model, we revisited some main architectures and models that exist so that we can use them as building blocks in the new approach. As building blocks, we can name service-oriented architecture, Universal Description, Discovery and Integration and taxonomy. Revisiting those established models have help us to build the taxonomic data integration model.

Highlights

  • With the last year’s technological mutation, sharing information become crucial

  • We remind the three main actors: the service provider, the service registry and the service requester. The description of this web service is made in Web Service Description Language (WSDL)

  • The second module is reserved for software agents because it is a box containing a set of Web services that can be evoked by various client applications

Summary

Introduction

With the last year’s technological mutation, sharing information become crucial. Sharing information is essential to improve data access time. A web service is a software application identified by a URI, whose interfaces and binding are capable of being defined, described and discovered by XML artefacts Such an approach supports direct interactions with other software applications using XML based messages via Internet-based protocols [6]. Paul Dayang and Donald Didier Sepele Hlamna: An Integrated Taxonomic Model of Gastronomic Offers Using Web Services and Databases them with their specificities. This approach has the advantage of not requiring users to provide the same information several times on different platforms. How can we combine web services and databases to define a data integration model that respect a given taxonomy? We draw some conclusions and perspectives for future research
