상호운용을 지원하는 코바 기반 공간 데이터 제공자의 설계 및 구현 = Implementation of CORBA based Spatial Data Provider for Interoperability

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In distributed computing platforms like CORBA, wrappers are used to integrate heterogeneous systems or databases. A spatial data provider is one of the wrappers because it provides clients with uniform access interfaces to diverse data sources. The individual implementation of spatial data providers for each of different data sources is not efficient because of redundant coding of the wrapper modules. This paper presents a new architecture of the spatial data provider which consists of two layered objects : independent wrapper components and dependent wrapper components. Independent wrapper components would be reused for implementing a new data provider for a new data source, which dependent wrapper components should be newly coded for every data source. This paper furthermore discussed the issues of implementing the representation of query results in the middleware. There are two methods of keeping query results in the middleware. One is to keep query results as non-CORBA objects and the other is to transform query results into CORBA objects. The evaluation of the above two methods shows that the cost of making CORBA objects is very expensive.
