Definition

  • Data integration is the process of combining data of different themes, content, scale or spatial extent, projections, acquisition methods, formats, schema, or even levels of uncertainty, so that they can be understood and analyzed. There is often a common display method used with integrated data sets, which, although they are not fully processed, allows information to be passed between them.
