Virtual data integration on the web
Andreas Langegger · 2008
In this dissertation novel methods developed in the Semantic Web community throughout the past couple of years are used to implement a large-scale data integration system for distributed, heterogeneous data with rich semantics. While the proposed system, called SemWIQ (Semantic Web Integrator and Query Engine) is primarily designed for sharing data for scientific collaboration, it is regarded as a base technology useful for many other Semantic Web applications which use ontologies to describe highly-structured data.
