Abstract:
If the structure of information within several departments of an organization has to be integrated, the process of integration must meet quality criteria. In this paper, we address quality in the schema integration process, more specifically, quality driven schema integration process tasks. Therefore we searched the literature for the best practices used for conceptual modeling as such and applied these to integration tasks. We address in particular three tasks within the integration process that should improve the quality of the integrated schema when used with best quality practices. Within each best practice we emphasize the use of knowledge repositories to support the process of creating a high quality schema. The three tasks are: choosing the right integration strategy, choosing the right conflict resolution methods for the chosen level of abstraction and introducing inter-schema properties to improve and clarify dependencies.
