Data Integration with Sybase Avaki Studio 1
Chapter 1
View models in Avaki Studio
Avaki Studio is a graphical, metadata-driven modeling tool for data integration that
lets you combine data from heterogeneous data sources. With Avaki Studio, you can
build view models by dragging and dropping input sources, operators, and output tar-
gets. A view model is a sequence of operations that combine or transform data from
one or more sources. This chapter introduces Avaki Studio and the tools it provides for
provisioning data sources, building view models, and deploying them as Avaki data
services.
