“…Most of the data integration systems presented above need for example an important human intervention to realize the integration process. The lack of real progress in data integration process automation is emphasized in (Rohn, 2010); the only partial task that received the attention of the researchers is the automation of schema/ontology matching (please see (Shvaiko et al, 2005;Shvaiko et al, 2008) for surveys).…”

Data integration involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of these data through what is called a "global schema''. The authors address here the problem of the construction of this global schema, with a minimum human effort, in the semantic Web context where data sources are annotated with ontologies. The authors aim to facilitate the task of building a common vocabulary (ontology) that will serve as a shared conceptual level for several heterogeneous data sources needing to share their data in a specific application domain. The authors propose a solution based on the use of a domain reference ontology (or "background knowledge'') as a mediation support and some reasoning techniques in order to minimize human intervention. The work presented here is implemented as a prototype for Semi Automatic Global Ontology Building (SAGOB).

“…Two successive articles [31,32] performed an extensive literature review and analysis of DDLs from the 1950's to date. They conclude that existing DDLs are indistinguishable when their variety is analyzed and that all DDLs have almost identical expressive power in terms of information bits.…”

Research of automatic integration of structured and semi-structured data has not resulted in success over the past fifty years. No theory of data integration exists. It is unknown what the theoretical necessary requirements are, to fully support automatic data integration from autonomous heterogeneous data sources. Therefore, it is not possible to objectively evaluate if and how much new algorithms, techniques, and specifically Data Definition Languages, move towards meeting such theoretical requirements. To overcome the serious reverse salient the field and industry are in, it will be helpful if a data integration theory would be developed. This article proposes a new look at data integration by using complex adaptive systems principles to analyze current shortcomings and propose a direction that may lead to a data integration theory.
