Systems of computer hardware for unifying data are presented including: a complex enterprise query client; a web sphere federation server (WSFS) electronically coupled with the complex enterprise query client, the WSFS configured for receiving a complex query from the complex enterprise query client; a first and second data service wrapper of a number of wrappers configured for transforming a first and second sub-query of the complex query corresponding with a first and second data type into a first and second data query; and a network traversal framework configured for receiving the first data query and the second data query, for sending consolidated first and second data results corresponding with the first and second data query to the first and second data service wrapper.

Unifying hetrogenous data

Techniques for unifying data are provided. The techniques include transforming a query into one or more sub-queries that can be answered by one or more types of data services, and wherein the query touches one or more joins across data residing in one or more enterprise systems, querying one or more target data services for each of the one or more sub-queries, aggregating one or more sets of results based on the one or more target data services, and unifying the one or more sets of aggregated results.
