Abstract
Objective is to develop a database virtualization technique for data analysts or other users who apply data mining methods to can use all ubiquitous databases in the Internet as if they recognized as a single database, thereby helping to reduce their workloads such as data collection from the Internet databases and data cleansing works. In this study, firstly i examine XML schema advantages and propose a database virtualization method by which such ubiquitous databases as relational databases, object-oriented databases, and XML databases are useful, as if they all behaved as a single database. Next, i show the method of virtualization of ubiquitous databases can describe ubiquitous database schema in a unified fashion using the XML schema. Moreover, it consists of a high-level concept of distributed database management of the same type and of different types, and also of a location transparency feature.
