Abstract

A large amount of today's product data is spread into office files and not efficiently searchable. With the integration of unstructured data from distinct sources, recent product information systems will evolve into federated product information systems. A repository is the heart of such systems, storing and managing extracted facts and information. This paper presents methods to enhance the system's utility by integrating additional quality metadata, covering the information's freshness, origin and quality. Covered security aspects are access permissions on source documents which have to be propagated to the repository, and privacy issues, arising if personal data like user recommendations are stored. This is a position paper.
