Questo capitolo utilizza un approccio infrastrutturale per analizzare l’integrazione europea nel campo della sicurezza, in particolare negli ambiti della cooperazione di polizia e dei controlli alle frontiere. La nostra ricerca si focalizza, nello specifico, sul progetto dell’Unione Europea (UE) di rendere interoperabili le banche dati utilizzate per la sicurezza transnazionale attraverso la comunicazione fra differenti sistemi informatici e il ...

Data integration is essential to enrich a database with external information. One effective approach is to match shared identifiers across diverse databases. However, a lack of syntactic interoperability, which refers to the ability to match data based on their syntax, can pose challenges. In this paper, we present a novel method to evaluate and enhance syntactic interop-erability, considering associated costs. First, we introduce the linking ...

An increasing number of applications in the sensor fusion, internet of things, knowledge processing, graph database, and networked information fields (e.g. Markov models, Bayesian networks, semantic webs) require (1) integrating confidence levels with probability processing and/or (2) belief representations other than the dominant probabilistic approach. Although alternatives such as fuzzy sets and Dempster-Shafer theory exist, the techniques to ...

The European Union Agency for Railways is an European authority, tasked with the provision of a legal and technical framework to support harmonized and safe cross-border railway operations throughout the EU. So far, the agency relied on traditional application-centric approaches to support the data exchange among multiple actors interacting within the railway domain. This lead however, to isolated digital environments that consequently added ...

ABSTRACT: Web services have become a key technology for bioinformatics, since life science databases are globally decentralized and the exponential increase in the amount of available data demands for efficient systems without the need to transfer entire databases for every step of an analysis. However, various incompatibilities among database resources and analysis services make it difficult to connect and integrate these into interoperable ...

Background: Data standards are not only key to making data processing efficient but also fundamental to ensuring data interoperability. When clinical trial data are structured according to international standards, they become significantly easier to analyze, reducing the efforts required for data cleaning, preprocessing, and secondary use. A common language and a shared set of expectations facilitate interoperability between systems and devices. ...

The collection management system (CMS) is a key tool for an institution. It provides numerous functions in cataloging and managing a collection, but is also the source of data that underpins research. It is a large investment for an institution and it must be supported over many years, and managed through its lifespan, until inevitable data must be migrated into a new system.
Currently, there are an enormous variety of systems in use across ...

The rapid evolution of ICT creates numerous opportunities for agricultural education and training. Digital learning resources are organized in online databases called learning repositories, in which people can search, locate, and access resources. In order to facilitate the exchange of information between such repositories, the issue of metadata interoperability is crucial. In this paper, we particularly focus on metadata interoperability of ...
