Data Store Models are Different Than Data Interchange Models
Michael Joseph Blaha · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2004
The model of a data store is much different than the model of a data interchange. The model of a data store is driven by the needs of building an application. In contrast, the model of a data interchange is driven by the needs of conveying data among applications. A past project for integrating chemical engineering data illustrates the ill consequences of overlooking the differences.
