诸如供应链集成和需求链管理等新的扩展企业模式需要一种新的按需信息交换方法，这种方法扩展了全球数据库查询的传统结果。新的需求首先源于这样一个事实：信息交换涉及大量属于众多独立组织的企业数据库；其次，这些数据库与无线传感器网络和射频识别（RFID）系统等实时数据源的重叠日益增多。一个例子是工业界推动安装增强型RFID系统，以便在产品的整个生命周期中整合企业信息。这项新的工作需要开放性和可扩展性，并导致了一种使用所有这些数据源进行协作的新模式。这种协作需要一种元数据技术（用于协调不同的数据语义），该技术既能在精简计算环境（例如新兴的传感器节点和RFID芯片）中运行，也能在传统数据库中运行。它还需要一种新的扩展的全球查询模型，该模型支持参与者根据自身情况提供/发布信息，而不仅仅是请求/订阅他们所需的信息。本文针对满足这些需求取得了新的成果。
New extended enterprise models such as supply chain integration and demand chain management require a new method of on-demand information exchange that extends the traditional results of a global database query. The new requirements stem from, first, the fact that the information exchange involves large numbers of enterprise databases that belong to a large number of independent organizations, and second, these databases are increasingly overlapping with real-time data sources such as wireless sensor networks and radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems. One example is the industrial push to install RFID- augmented systems to integrate enterprise information along the life cycle of a product. The new effort demands openness and scalability, and leads to a new paradigm of collaboration using all these data sources. The collaboration requires a metadata technology (for reconciling different data semantics) that works on thin computing environments (e.g., emerging sensor nodes and RFID chips) as well as on traditional databases. It also needs a new extended global query model that supports participants to offer/publish information as they see fit, not just request/subscribe what they want. This paper develops new results toward meeting these requirements.
