Abstract

Decision-making processes are becoming complex, particularly with the presence of huge amounts of distributed and heterogeneous data. Therefore, warehousing these complex data into a unified format has become an urgent necessity. In this paper, we focus on the integration phase and propose an architecture for integrating relevant complex data into a repository of Active XML (AXML) documents. AXML documents are XML documents with embedded calls to Web services. They have the advantage of not requiring to store all data explicitly, but AXML frequently updatable data can be loaded on the fly via calling Web services if necessary.
