Metamorphosis
Nowadays, data handled by an institution
or company is spread out by more than one database and
lots of documents of different types. To extract the
information implicit in that data, it is
necessary to pick parts from those various archives. To obtain
a general overview, those information slices should be gather. Different approaches can
be followed to achieve that integration, ranging from the merge of resources till the
fusion of the extracted parts. Here, we introduce
Metamorphosis - a Topic Maps oriented
environment to generate conceptual navigators
for heterogenous information systems - and we argue that
Metamorphosis can be used to achieve, via Topic
Maps, the referred interoperability.
