Abstract

One of the major concerns in the study of software interoperability is the inconsistent representation of the same real world entity in various legacy software products. This paper proposes an object-oriented model to provide the architecture to consolidate two legacy schemas in order that corresponding systems may share attributes and methods through use of an automated translator. A Federation Interoperability Object Model (FIOM) is built to capture the information and operations shared between different systems. An automatic wrapper-based translator is discussed that utilizes the model to bridge data representation and operation implementation differences between heterogeneous distributed systems.
