Data integration has been an important area of research for several years. However, such systems suffer from one of the main drawbacks of database systems: the need to invest significant modeling effort upfron...
Article
This paper reports our first set of results on managing uncertainty in data integration. We posit that data-integration systems need to handle uncertainty at three levels and do so in a principled fashion. Fir...

Chapter
The big data era is the inevitable consequence of datafication: our ability to transform each event and every interaction in the world into digital data, and our concomitant desire to analyze and extract value fr...
Chapter
The second component of data integration is record linkage. Even after the schemas of different sources have been aligned, when different sources provide values for the same attribute of the same entity, these va...
Chapter
The previous chapters in this book have made it abundantly clear that big data integration offers both significant new challenges and new opportunities to derive value by integrating data available from a myri...
Chapter
The first component of data integration is schema alignment. As we showed in Section 1.2.3, there can be thousands to millions of data sources in the same domain, but they often describe the domain using differen...
Chapter
The third component of data integration is data fusion. Even when different sources provide information for the same attribute of the same entity, they may provide conflicting values. Such conflicts can arise bec...
