INTEGRATED UNIVERSITY INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Thomas Kudraß · 2006
In this paper, we discuss the integration of heterogeneous databases with the example of a university information system, based on previous experiences in the implementation of some components. The paper stresses the new opportunities for universities resulting from database integration. We outline the target architecture for an integrated information system whose principle is the coupling of existing systems and the definition of global views on them. The services defined on those views can be used for high-level information services in the web or for the definition of workflows in the university administration.
