Résumé documentaire — langue originale

In 2006, British mathematician Clive Hamby from Sheffield coined the phrase "data is the new oil." At the same time, our scattered data remained confined within its disconnected systems, creating isolated islands of data, each separate from the others—what is known as a data silo. The modern era, with its technologies and revolutions, brought forth data fabric technology, which has been like a magic wand for smart data management in institutions in general, and libraries in particular, offering a solution to the problem of digital fragmentation. The concept of data fabric is based on creating intelligent data pathways through a smart virtual layer to connect systems without the need to transfer and copy data, in addition to supporting intelligent semantic linking between data through active metadata. The importance of this study stems from the fact that DataFabric will usher in a new era in the world of information systems. To achieve its objective, the study reviews the concept, importance, benefits, mechanism of operation, and components of DataFabric, distinguishing it from data networks and data lakes. The study will also present the most important systems that support DataFabric, both open and commercial. The study concludes with a proposal for implementing DataFabric at Damascus University. The descriptive approach was adopted as the most suitable methodology for the subject matter. The study reached several conclusions, the most prominent being that DataFabric will be a lifeline for Syrian institutions. It creates a virtual layer that ensures unified access to data, addressing the multiplicity of systems in our institutions, their lack of standardization, and their outdated nature. The study concludes with a set of recommendations that should be implemented, such as raising awareness and disseminating knowledge about DataFabric and striving to apply it across various institutions.
