Development of a Virtual Database Module

How can you translate complex information in real
time from one computer language into another? In a
virtual database a variety of databases form a
system. For the integration of a new database with
different language into the collective a logic has to
translate the information. This
practical work is part of the Edutella project which
has the aim to create a peer-to-peer network for
storing, querying, exchanging and processing any
kinds of RDF metadata. The focus is on the
development of a wrapper module for the Rssdb
database. This wrapper provides the features for
translating Edutella queries into the local language
of Rssdb and for translating back the results from
Rssdb. The author David Kuhn describes how this
translation even works in real time efficiently. The
algorithm is based on a decision tree. This tree
decompiles the information piece by piece and
constructs it again in the target language. The
decision tree allows the process to be very fast even
for information with discretionary deeply nesting.
This book is interesting for developers who have to
translate information from one computer language into
another very fast.
