On-Demand Data Integration on the Cloud

On-demand data integration is among the key challenges in Cloud Computing. In this paper, we present an ontology-based framework for describing and integrating data on the fly to answer transient business needs. We provide a semantic modeling for cloud's data services. The proposed modeling makes it possible to automatically resolve the different types of data heterogeneity that would arise when data from heterogeneous and autonomous providers need to be combined together to answer the business's data needs.
