Summary
The growth of organizations invariably leads to creation of multiple
isolated data sources which are totally disconnected from each other. This
leads to reduced efficiency and lack of complete knowledge of the
enterprise and its customers while making critical business decisions. This
is the classical Information integration problem which has become the
biggest pain point for enterprises today. Information Integration has
received considerable attention from researchers in academia as well as
industry in the recent past. Information integration refers to the category
of middleware which lets applications access data as though there were in a
single database.
The popularity of information integration has lead to it being used in
diverse domains. Each domain has its peculiar requirements; like in some
domains it is not feasible to know the schema of all the data sources
whereas in some domains the information integration has to be aware of the
users? access rights. Such requirements lead to new approaches for doing
information integration.
In this talk, we will discuss new trends and techniques for integrating
information that provide organizations the ability to generate insights
that would not be normally obtained by analyzing either type of information
source (structured or unstructured) independently. We further show that
this new way of integrating information has several applications in the
area of active data warehousing, semantic search, and business intelligence
to provide real-time and personalized analytics in the CRM domain.
