Dataspaces

The term Data Space or data space refers to a relatively new approach to information integration, by means of which problems physical and virtual integration approaches should be countered. To keep the effort to create an integration architecture low, it is not a fixed target structure needed for data spaces in advance. Instead, get existing matching and mapping techniques for the application to provide data regardless of the degree of integration into a system.

Data Spaces gradually grow with their job when needed Pay-As -You- Go. For example, if more complex queries over related data are needed, these can be defined as a constraint. Thus, the integration effort on the date on which the information needs is moved.
