HCI 440 - Data Integration and Exchange

3 credits (3 hrs Lec)


Data Integration (DI) is a process in which heterogeneous data is retrieved and combined in a structured format as either data sets or in one or more database tables.  Data integration allows different data types to be merged by organizations and applications for the support of business processes and/or functions. The business functions supported by data integration may involve support for operations, analytics, data marts and data warehouses.

ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) is the primary technology that supports data integration.  The course uses metadata tools and relational database management tools to illustrate the three database functions (ETL) that are combined into a  common tool to retrieve information from a data source, convert the data, and load it into another database or target file.
