DATA INTEGRATION Data integration involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of these data. This process becomes significant in a variety of situations‚ which include both commercial (when two similar companies need to merge their databases and scientific (combining research results from different bioinformatics repositories‚ for example) domains. Data integration appears with increasing frequency as the volume and the need to share existing data explodes
