The massive amount of statistical and text data available from government agencies has created a set of daunting challenges to both the research and analysis communities. These problems include heterogeneity, size, distribution, and control of terminology. At the Digital Government Research Center ( www.dgrc.org) we are investigating solutions to these key problems. In this paper we focus on scalability of data integration across multiple databases and web sources, and ontology construction and mapping for terminology standardization.
