Database Translator (DATALATOR) for Integrated Exploitation

摘要

Reported are results of developing and testing the DATALATOR experimental prototype (TRL 4) designed to demonstrate its core functions based on Next Generation Software technology. Die focus is on demonstrating tangible means for data users to be directly involved in meeting their operational objectives. The prototype employs innovative method of data integration that automates discovery of semantic model representing intended use of data. The automation is achieved by generating a graphical view (tree graph) of possible data flows based on a user initial indication of the flow target. Every path originating at the tree root represents a plausible chain of events and helps the user to identify the intended use of data Once identified the data How serves as a context for formulating and executing subsequent user-defined queries against the data source. This report contains details of technical implementation and empirical evaluation of the prototype during Phase I.
