Srinivasan, Uma; Ngu, Anne H. H.; Gedeon, Tom

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, v51 n8 p707-23 Jun 2000

Introduces a conceptual integration approach to heterogeneous databases or information systems that exploits the similarity in metalevel information and performs metadata mining on database objects to discover a set of concepts that serve as a domain abstraction and provide a conceptual layer above existing legacy systems.
