Applications capable of integrating data from historical and streaming sources can make the most contextualized and enriched decision-making. However, the complexity of data integration over heterogeneous data sources can be a hard task for querying in this context. Approaches that facilitate data integration, abstracting details and formats of the primary sources can meet these needs. This work presents a framework that allows the integration of streaming and historical data in real-time, abstracting syntactic aspects of queries through the use of SQL as a standard language for querying heterogeneous sources. The framework was evaluated through an experiment using relational datasets and real data produced by sensors. The results point to the feasibility of the approach.
The complexity imposed by data heterogeneity makes it difficult to integrate 'streaming x streaming' and 'streaming x historical' data types. For practical analysis, the enrichment and contextualization process based on historical and streaming data would benefit from approaches that facilitate data integration, abstracting details and formats of the primary sources. This work presents a framework that allows the integration of streaming data and historical data in real-time, abstracting syntactic aspects of queries through the use of SQL as a standard language for querying heterogeneous sources. The framework was evaluated through an experiment using a relational database and real data produced by sensors. The results point to the feasibility of the approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
