Big Data Integration of Heterogeneous Data Sources: The Re-Search Alps Case Study

The application of big data integration techniques in real scenarios needs to address practical issues related to the scalability of the process and the heterogeneity of data sources. In this paper, we describe the pipeline that has been developed in the context of the Re-search Alps project, a project funded by the EU Commission through the INEA Agency in the CEF Telecom framework, that aims at creating an open dataset describing research centers located in the Alpine area.
