CAMDIT: A Toolkit for Integrating Heterogeneous Data for Enhanced Service Provisioning

Data Integration is classified as an Open and Lingering (OL) problem which must be sufficiently addressed due to its myriad benefits and significances, especially in the health sector where collaborative medicine is vital. Data integration problem evolved from the disparity in semantics and syntactic representations of medical data. It is a challenge, which must be solved to realize effective collaboration in the health sector and paramount for efficient health care service provisioning. In recent times, different approaches and software artifacts such as services, components and tools have been proposed for resolving data integration problem. However, existing approaches are faced with data inaccuracy, data unreliability, increased query response time, network bottleneck and poor system performance. The focus of this paper is to present our technique and the CAMDIT toolkit which efficiently achieves data integration, data accuracy, reliability and reduced query-response time and impacts of network bottleneck on systems performances.
