Example: Data(base) Integration

Databases are very different in structure, in content
Lots of applications require managing several databases
- after company mergers
- combination of administrative data for e-Government
- biochemical, genetic, etc, research
- etc
Most of these data are now on the Web
The semantics of the data(bases) should be known
- how this semantics is mapped on internal structures is immaterial
