Özet:Information integration over distributed and heterogeneous resources has been challenging in many terms: coping with various kinds of heterogeneity including data model, platform, access interfaces; coping with various forms of data distribution and maintenance policies, scalability, performance, security and trust, reliability and resilience, legal issues etc. It is obvious that each of these dimensions deserves a separate thread of research efforts. One particular challenge among the ones listed above that is more relevant to the work presented in this thesis is coping with various forms of data distribution and maintenance policies. This thesis aims to provide a service-oriented data integration solution over data Grids for cases where distributed data sources are partitioned with overlapping sections of various proportions. This is an interesting variation which combines both replicated and partitioned data within the same data management framework. Thus, the data management infrastructure has to deal with specific challenges regarding the identification, access and aggregation of partitioned data with varying proportions of overlapping sections. To provide a solution we have extended OGSA-DAI DQP, a well-known service-oriented data access and integration middleware with distributed query processing facilities, by incorporating UnionPartitions operator into its algebra in order to cope with various unusual forms of horizontally partitioned databases. As a result; our solution extends OGSA-DAI DQP, in two points; 1 - A new operator type is added to the algebra to perform a specialized union of the partitions with different characteristics, 2 - OGSA-DAI DQP Federation Description is extended to include some more metadata to facilitate the successful execution of the newly introduced operator.
