A novel application integration architecture for the education industry.

ABSTRACT

Since the Ministry of Education launched Education Informatization 2.0, the digitalization of colleges and universities has entered a stage of rapid growth. However, after more than 20 years of construction, problems such as system barriers and information islands have emerged in the digital construction of university systems. In order to solve such problems between the university systems, this paper proposes an easily expandable and configurable open information integration architecture by considering traditional information integration methods and combining with Web service technology. The architecture handles user service invocation information through a service layer, and manages the registration and invocation of services through a service module. The permission module manages user permissions to prevent information leakage and security issues. The data module abstracts data-related services to provide a basis for the deep use of data. And other optional development services are designed to satisfy special requirements for different platforms. The architecture proposed in this paper can integrate different heterogeneous subsystems in colleges and universities, eliminating the problem of system barriers and information islands, and providing specifications for the construction of new applications.
