A case study on model driven data integration for data centric software development

Model Driven Data Integration is a data integration approach that proactively incorporates and utilizes metadata across the data integration process. By decoupling data and metadata, MDDI drastically reduces complexity of data integration; whilst also providing an integrated standard development method, which is associated with Model Driven Architecture. This paper introduces a case study to adopt MDA technology as an MDDI framework for data centric software development; including data merging and data customization for data mining. A data merging model is also proposed to define relationships between different models at a conceptual level which is then transformed into a physical model. In this case study we collect and integrate historical data from various universities into the Data Warehouse system in order to develop student intervention services through data mining.
