D6.1, Heterogenous data source type description

Short Description:

The purpose of this document is to specify the different heterogeneous data source types which should be handled by the INFOMIX prototype system at the DAT layer. It also specifies a homogenized data format at the source level, the INFOMIX Source Data Format (ISDF), to which data in the heterogeneous data source formats are converted. This document serves as a basis for a forthcoming report on methods for data acquisition and transformation and is furthermore relevant for the implementation of the INFOMIX prototype.
