项目摘要

The goal of this research project is to facilitate the sharing of information across enterprise boundaries, by facilitating the integration of separately constructed data bases. Because such data bases never have identical content, it is necessary to write transforms (or adaptors) to convert such disparate data into a common form. The construction of such transforms is widely believed to be a major cost of data integration projects. The purpose of the Morpheus project is to capture a large number of such transforms in a repository by crawling the web for publicly available ones and providing high level tools for efficient transform construction. In addition, powerful browsing tools are anticipated that allow users to locate "interesting" transforms quickly in the repository by providing keyword search of documentation, search within a classification hierarchy of transforms, search by the provenance of transforms, as well as search by the input/output characteristics. Morpheus is expected to dramatically reduce the cost of writing and maintaining data integration transforms, which will ease the difficulty of future data integration projects. This project will support graduate students at both Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Florida. In addition, transform construction will be used as student exercises in data base classes at both institutions. Further information can be obtained from the project web site: http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~jhammer/morpheus/ where research results will be disseminated and prototype code will be available.

该研究项目的目的是通过促进单独构建的数据库的集成来促进跨企业边界的信息共享。由于此类数据库永远不会具有相同的内容，因此有必要编写转换（或适配器）以将这种不同的数据转换为通用形式。人们普遍认为，这种转换的构建是数据集成项目的主要成本。 Morpheus项目的目的是通过爬网络以获得公开可用的网络，并提供高级工具来有效地转换构造，以捕获存储库中的大量转换。此外，预计强大的浏览工具可以通过提供文档的关键字搜索，在转换的分类层次结构中搜索，通过转换的出处进行搜索，并通过输入/输出特征搜索，从而使用户可以在存储库中快速找到“有趣”的变换。预计Morpheus将大大降低写作和维护数据集成转换的成本，这将减轻未来数据集成项目的困难。该项目将支持马萨诸塞州理工学院和佛罗里达大学的研究生。此外，在两个机构的数据基类中，变换构建将被用作学生练习。可以从项目网站获取更多信息：http：//www.cise.ufl.edu/~jhammer/morpheus/在其中进行研究结果将被传播并提供原型代码。
