A framework for data quality handling in enterprise service bus

Abstract

Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is proposed to address the application integration problem by facilitating communication among different systems in a loosely coupled, standardbased, and protocol independent manner. Data sources are maintained out of the ESB's control and there should be a mechanism to select the most suitable data source among all available data sources. Especially, when two or more data sources are about the same object. For instance, it is normal to use more than one sensor to measure pressure or temperature at a particular point. Data quality can play an important role in selecting data sources in ESB since quality of data is an essential factor in the success of organizations. There is no built-in component in the current ESB platforms to handle data quality. In this paper, we present a flexible and comprehensive data quality framework for managing resources in ESB. The framework is independent of concrete ESB platforms. We evaluate our framework using four different scenarios within the wind energy domain.

From Theory to Practice: A Data Quality Framework for Classification Tasks

“…Factor analysis and Cronbach-alpha test were applied to interpret the results. A data quality framework for manage resources in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is built in [38]. The framework measures data quality coming from different sensors and selects the most suitable data source among all available data sources, in respect to the data quality metrics: accuracy, trueness, completeness, timeliness, and consistency.…”

Data Quality Management in e-Health Integration Platforms: the Case of Uruguay

“…Firstly, some works address the problem of data quality in the context of an ESB [7] [33] and propose solutions to tackle these issues by using such middleware infrastructure. For instance, in [7] authors consider that data quality management is particularly challenging when there is a large number of data sources. To address this problem authors claim that data quality process must move from the user level to the integration server.…”

“…Although integration platforms, particularly those based on ESBs, provide mechanisms that can be used to control the quality of the data exchanged through them, they do not provide native solutions to address this issue [7] neither in a general way nor for the health area.…”

A data quality aware enterprise service bus for e-Health integration platforms

“…En primer lugar, algunos trabajos plantean la problemática de calidad de datos en el contexto de un ESB [7][26] y proponen soluciones para abordar este tema apoyándose en este tipo de infraestructura. Por ejemplo, en [7] los autores plantean que cuando hay muchas fuentes de datos con información de calidad, el manejo de la calidad de los datos a nivel de usuario es un desafío. Por esto consideran que, para abordar este problema, el proceso de calidad de datos debe moverse desde el nivel de usuario hasta el servidor de integración.…”

“…Si bien las plataformas de integración, en particular las basadas en ESBs, brindan mecanismos que pueden utilizarse para controlar la calidad de los datos que se intercambian a través de ellas, no proveen soluciones nativas para abordar este tema [7], ni de forma general ni para elárea de la salud.…”
