Semantic INtegration Technology Applied in Grid-based, Model-driven Architectures The main goal of the project is the development and experimental application of a novel information integration technology which includes conceptual level integration and is based on virtual database management in distributed and grid architectures. The new technology will support uniform and unified management of different types of information, and, therefore, will ensure efficient communication among IT applications and their users in a way which is free from semantic errors. The project aims at demonstrating the wide applicability of the technology to be developed in two, significantly differing application environments: firstly, by improving the IT services linked to the Hungarian cultural heritage (building on the National Digital Repository), secondly, by solving specific problems of SMEs in data integration and electronic business/commerce (related to the so-called Enterprise Information Integration market trend). The System Development Department contributes to agent, text, and web service wrapper parts of the technology as well as to the general distributed grid architecture.
