Data Integration

MOMIS (Mediator EnvirOnment for Multiple Information Sources)  is a data integration system able to integrate and query data coming from heterogeneous data sources (structured and semi-structured) in a semi-automatic way, to bring out new information from apparently unrelated existing data.

The main innovative features  of MOMIS are:

  •  
  • Easy Querying of distributed legacy systems: existing systems should not be modified but simply inserted as a data source data integration
  •  
  • Virtual approach: no centralized copy of data is needed (as opposed to the data warehouse approach), to preserve the autonomy , security and privacy of the original data sources
  •  
  • Integration of heterogeneous geo-referenced data sources (databases, files , linked open data , etc.) to provide a global geo-referenced view of the original data sources
  •  
  • Rapid deployment of data integration projects by means of semi-automatic mapping definitions among data sources based on the semantics of the terms
  •  
  • Data Provenance, i.e., management of information about where data come from and how it is derived at the global level, to assess the quality and reliability of data.
  •  

An open source version of MOMIS is delivered and maintained by the academic UNIMORE spin-off DataRiver.
