FDBSs can be categorized as loosely

coupled or tightly coupled based on who

manages the federation and how the com-

ponents are integrated. interoperable database system ( loosely ) An FDBS is loosely

coupled if it is the user's responsibility to

create and maintain the federation and

there is no control enforced by the feder-

ated system and its administrators.

A federation is tightly

coupled if the federation and its adminis-

trator(s) have the responsibility for creat-

ing and maintaining the federation and

actively control the access to component

DBSs.

A loosely coupled FDBS always

supports multiple federated schemas. A

tightly coupled FDBS may have one or

more federated schemas. A tightly coupled

FDBS is said to have single federation if it

allows the creation and management of

only one federated schema.

A tightly coupled FDBS is

said to have multiple federations if it allows

the creation and management of multiple

federated schemas
