Agent Oriented Data Integration

Abstract. Data integration is the process by which data from heterogeneous data sources are conceptually integrated into a single cohesive data set. In recent years agents have been increasingly used in information systems to promote performance. In this work we propose a modeling framework for agent oriented data integration to demonstrate how agents can support this process. We provide a systematic analysis of the process using real world scenarios, taken from email messages from citizens in a local government, and demonstrate two agent oriented data integration tasks, email routing and opinion analysis.
