Database Integration
An integration database is a database which acts as the data store for multiple applications, and thus integrates data across these applications.
An integration database needs a schema that takes all its client applications into account. The resulting schema is either more general, more complex or both. The database usually is controlled by a separate group to the applications and database changes are more complex because they have to be negotiated between the database group and the various applications.
The benefit of this is that sharing data between applications does not require an extra layer of integration services on the applications. Any changes to data made in a single application are made available to all applications at the time of database commit - thus keeping the applications' data use better synchronized.
Although we aim to fully enable web-based access, we see data delivery on a date-stamped CDROM as an acceptable and insome cases inevitable interim option, especially for downloading large datasets.
Principles shaping database integration
Data quality and integrity are paramount
We will increase transparency in data quality assurance through mechanisms such as authority tables, meta-data about origin, ownership, method of collection, and the level of precision of data.
Increased flexibility
- Greater standardisation and interoperability between database applications through the introduction of common data interchange standards
- Ability to ‘add value’ to raw data through seamless integration between database management tools and analytical, modelling and visualisation tools
- Data structures that are not constrained to present applications and that can meet new research and resource management queries that we have not even thought of yet
