Abstract

The paper addresses the specific issue of interoperability in heterogeneous databases (DBs) and the possible use of COTS components that may alleviate the DB interoperability problem. A component-based software Architectural Style (AS) for interoperable DBs has been used, and an example of its application given, to identify which role the COTS components may play when populating the architecture. We discuss the characteristics of such COTS components and advocate that such COTS components should be developed with a specific component platform in mind, interoperate within a certain context, and adhere to constraints of our AS.
