Abstract

A message broker is deployed as a service in a services oriented architecture for use, for example, in a data integration platform.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

providing a module for a data integration platform, the module including a message broker module for relaying messages among components of the data integration platform;

providing a registry of services;

providing an interface for accessing the module; and

identifying the module in the registry;

wherein the module can be accessed as a service in a services oriented architecture.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide an extraction function.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a data transformation function.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a loading function.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a metadata management function.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a data profiling function.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a mapping function.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a data quality function.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a data cleansing function.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide an atomic data repository function.

11. A system, comprising:

a module for a data integration platform, the module including a message broker module for relaying messages among components of the data integration platform;

a registry of services; and

an interface for accessing the message broker module;

wherein the message broker module is identified in the registry; and

wherein the message broker module can be accessed as a service in a services oriented architecture.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide an extraction function.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a data transformation.

14. The system of claim 11 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a loading function.

15. The system of claim 11 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a metadata management function.

16. The system of claim 11 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a data profiling function.

17. The system of claim 11 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a mapping function.

18. The system of claim 11 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a data quality function.

19. The system of claim 11 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide a data cleansing function.

20. The system of claim 11 wherein the data integration platform is adapted to provide an atomic data repository function.
