Introduction to Information Systems
Debriefing Project Phase 1
2
The Project – Side Effects
• Trains your soft skills– team work– deal with bugs, poor documentation, …– produce with limited time resources– project management and reporting
• Results useful for you personally– Demo:
• Project should be fun
3
Debriefing
• First: work done is impressive!
4
Bugs and Company
• As expected real life is full of surprises– problem with 5MB limit– problem with Ebay– difficulties with SED– bugs in Pointbase– syntactic variations in Pointbase– …
5
An Imperfect World
• The data is not always of the quality you expect it to be (sometimes on purpose?)– more in this follows for Phase 2
• Conceptual Schemas – Redesigns (not a "problem with 'us'" ;-) )– "Agreement" on schema
• Some data didn't fit (trees)
• Regular expressions are sensitive to changes
6
Time Management
• First phase was (not unexpectedly) very time consuming
• Phase 2 and 3 should be better• Tradeoff between doing something "real" and
saving time• Some groups reported on insufficient
planning• Specialists in group for different tasks
7
The practical side
• Some adaptations for phase 2– you will find more assistants on Friday– Password protection if desired– Experience report in PDF format– deliverable as ZIP file by email
• Roman will have more information
• Please use the News Group for Questions!
8
Suggestions for Phase 2
9
Database Integration
• Combining data from different databases– collection of data (wrapping)– combination of data and generation of new views on
the data (mediation)
• Problem: heterogeneity– access, representation, content
• Example revisited (Demo)– http://immo.search.ch/ – http://www.swissimmo.ch
10
Suggestions for Phase 2
• When integrating data– no "perfect" database expected: output cannot be
better as input!– partial matches from DBs are ok– data quality has no influence on grading!
11
Suggestions for Phase 2
• Important– integration at schema level– observe and report the difficulties– planned: debriefing on database integration
problems

So
• Good luck
• and watch the time
