On-the-fly Integration of Static and Dynamic Sources

The relevance of many types of data perishes or degrades over time; to support timely decision-making, data integration systems must provide access to live data and should make it easy to incorporate new sources. We outline methods, based on web architecture that enable (near) real-time access to data sources in a variety of formats and access modalities. Our methods also enable rapid integration of new live sources by modeling them with respect to a domain ontology, and by using these models to generate a Linked Data interface to access them. Finally, we present initial experimental results of a scenario involving several static and dynamic sources from the web.
