During integration of multiple databases, there are a lot of methods to resolve various syntactical and semantic conflicts. However, the replication problem has less been taken into consideration. The replication means that the same entity or attributes may appear in multiple databases. Once they are integrated, the replication should be eliminated from the integrated views and an update occurring at one database should be propagated into the others. In this paper, we will discuss integration of multiple databases by the object deputy model. The model can easily resolve conflicts using switching operations and an object deputy algebra. The replication can also be handled by the object deputy model.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/3-540-45581-7_22
