Lowell Report Avi Silberschatz Department of Computer Science Yale University
The Web as a Multidatabase • Integration of heterogeneous data sources. Will we ever solve this problem? • If we are to integrate data from thousands of “unknown” sites, how do we guarantee the “quality” of the data and the results of the various queries?
Integration of OSs and DBMSs • Operating systems store a variety of data in tabular format, which can be “viewed” as relational tables. • Create an OS-DB-based kernel that provides the foundation to both the OS and the DBMS. • Have all data reside in the DBMS (rather than the OS file system).
I have a dream! • Operating Systems are used on a regular basis by ordinary people • Why can we not have Database Systems enjoy the same?
