Description
Based on the explicit data models of the different heterogeneous tools/data sources, a generic approach for the definition of queries should be implemented. Based on this generic approach, the queries then need to be transformed into a query language the target data source can understand and handle - first of all we target at supporting data sources capable of dealing with the SQL syntax. For testing purposes, data from different projects will be provided.
Benefit for the Student
Learning about the transformation of queries to a set of heterogeneous data sources, and more generally about model-driven systems engineering.
Benefit for the Project
By now, queries to the different heterogeneous data sources/tools integrated need to be written and transformed manually to their local representations. The automation of this definition and transformation process would dramatically increase the usability and acceptance of the framework, since even non-experts would be capable of defining and executing complex queries.
Requirements
Excellent skills in understanding and programming Java code are necessary. Useful would be knowledge about OSGi, database technologies (e.g., SQL), and about semantic web technologies (e.g., OWL).
