Research And Implementation Of An Heterogeneous Data Integration Method On Social Network

In recent years,with the rapid development of computer networks, the users and visits of the online shopping platform are growing fast.At the same time, the diversification of business and user requirements made the business logic and transaction increasingly complex, it provided a good environment for the development of social network websites.Social network can share user information in different platform which made it be recieved by more and more retailers,as the social network helped them to develop the potential customers.However, because of most of the social network websites are doing what they want to do, the data format and expressing are inconsistent, which can not guarantee the data integrity, consistency and accuracy while doing heterogeneous data integration.Therefore, finding a efficient heterogeneous data integration solution is a meaningful topic that has good application background and useful promotion value.The traditional heterogeneous data integration methods all have advantages, disadvantages and limitations, none of them can fully meet the project requirements. Therefore, based on the study of XML, REST and OAuth, conbined with the features of different intergration methods,this paper raised a XML-based Heterogeneous Data Integration Framework(HDIF).Then research and analysis were done on the data format and accessing interface of Myspace in the thesis, implemented the accessing to albums and vidoes data and integrated the authorized resources of specific user in Myspace using OAuth, those data were all integrated to our project Wishbook successfully using HDIF. Finally, this paper studied the way of integrating data from other social network websites such as Facebook, Digg, Technorati using the HDIF model, experiments were carried out on the integration hit rate and hit time, the study and experimental results show that HDIF can not only integrate data from those websites successfully, but also can provide more timely and complete integration service and achieve the integration target with highly accuracy if the resources were authorized.
