How to call Data Integration when interaction is involved?

开发者_高级运维First let's define Data Integration: "combine data from different sources and present users with a unified view" I interpret data sources as databases with tables, files and more. My question: What do you call it when, on the functional level, extra interactions are needed?

Example: take for example a webservice in which you first need to provide your country code, after which the weather results are returned. And in this case I need a weather report attribute.

What you are describing sounds like simple data integration. You could label it as such and it would be clear. If you must, you could classify it as a subset of data integration called an Edge Data Integration.

From Wikipedia:

An edge data integration is an implementation of data integration technology undertaken in an ad hoc or tactical fashion. This is also sometimes referred to as point-to-point integration because it connects two types of data directly to serve a narrow purpose.

They go on to define examples of Edge Data Integration, one of which seems similar to your weather case:

[An] Example of [an] edge data integration project might be combining data from a weather Web site, a shipping company's Web site, and a company's internal logistics database to track shipments and estimated arrival times of packages
