Descripción
Sumario:The main contribution of this work is the development of a Metadata Manager to interconnect heterogeneous and autonomous information sources in a flexible, expandable and transparent way. The interoperability at the semantic level is reached using an integration layer, structured in a hierarchical way, based on the concept of Mediators. Services of a Mediator Metadata Manager (MMM) are specified and implemented using functions based on the Outlines of GOA++. The MMM services e are available in the form of a GOA++ API and they can be accessed remotely via CORBA or through local API calls.
