Depending on how much data integration you need, you then start to
apply
some identity resolution and schema mapping techniques. We have been
talking
to some pharma and media companies that do data warehousing for
years and
they all seam to be very interested in this quick and dirty approach.
"Quick & Dirty" is simply not how I would characterize this matter. I
prefer to describe this as step 1 in a multi phased approach to RDF
based data integration.
Kingsley, I agree. I find it clean to make the basic but necessary
first steps towards data integration (identification of things,
mapping, etc.). Building upon legacy systems, that you just have to
adapt, doesn't make the approach dirty: it makes it possible ;-)
Francois,
Yes.
In my world view, "quick & dirty" is synonymous with inherent inability
to scale across quality vectors such as:
1. Integration use-case complexity
2. Data volume growth
3. Concurrent usage growth
4. Deployment target growth
When encounter "quick & dirty" associated with anything in the
technology realm, the items above send off deafening alarm bells in my
head :-)
Kingsley
