Architecture for aggregation, processing and provisioning of data from heterogeneous scientific information services

Abstract

One of the tasks undertaken in PSNC in the frame of the SYNAT project is the design of architecture for the scientific information system allowing to integrate heterogeneous distributed services necessary to build knowledge base and innovative applications based on it. This paper contains overall description of the designed architecture with the analysis of its most important technical aspects, features and possible weak points. It also presents initial results from the test deployment of the first prototype of several architecture components, including initial aggregation and processing of several millions of metadata records from several tenths of network services. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
