Abstract

The task of processing large sets of data which are stored in distributed sources is still a big problem. The determination of a one, consistent version of data could be very time- and cost-consuming. Therefore, the balance between the time of execution and the quality of the integration results is needed. This paper is devoted to a multi-level approach to data integration using the Consensus Theory. The experimental verification of multi-level integration methods has proved that the division of integration task into smaller subproblems gives similar results as the one-level approach, but improves a time performance.
