Short for
Enterprise Information Integration, EII is
software that combines
various
data sources at an
enterprise level in order to support
applications
that present or analyze the data in new ways. EII provides a service that allows
administrators, developers, and end-users to treat a broad array of data sources
as if they were one large
database or data service. EII is software
infrastructure not an application. However, it does support the creation of
applications.
