A Multi-Source Research Integration System is an information retrieval system that is an information processing software system that aggregates research data (from diverse sources for unified analysis and synthesis).
- AKA: Research Data Aggregation System, Source Integration Platform, Multi-Source Research System.
- Context:
- It can (typically) connect Multiple Data Sources through source connectors.
- It can (typically) normalize Data Formats through format converters.
- It can (typically) resolve Entity References through entity resolutions.
- It can (typically) merge Information Streams through data fusions.
- It can (typically) maintain Source Attribution through provenance trackings.
- ...
- It can (often) handle Conflicting Information through conflict resolutions.
- It can (often) assess Source Quality through quality metrics.
- It can (often) synchronize Real-Time Data through update mechanisms.
- It can (often) cache Retrieved Content through storage systems.
- ...
- It can range from being a Basic Multi-Source Integration System to being an Advanced Multi-Source Integration System, depending on its integration complexity.
- It can range from being a Homogeneous Source Integration System to being a Heterogeneous Source Integration System, depending on its source diversity.
- It can range from being a Static Multi-Source Integration System to being a Dynamic Multi-Source Integration System, depending on its adaptation capability.
- ...
- It can integrate Web Search Engines for internet content.
- It can connect Academic Databases for scholarly resources.
- It can access News Feeds for current information.
- It can utilize API Endpoints for structured data.
- It can process Document Repositorys for archival content.
- ...
- Example(s):
- Counter-Example(s):
- Single-Source Retrieval System, which lacks source diversity.
- Simple Data Aggregator, which lacks intelligent integration.
- Static Database System, which lacks dynamic source access.
