Since these databases are dependent on autonomous hardware and software they create problems of data integration and interoperability.

However, the proposed methods and techniques remain highly technical and there is lack of research that focuses on the empirical application of these methods and techniques in information systems (IS) domains. This study develops and semantically exploits a relational data model of the South African Municipalities Information …
