摘　　要：Modern business is faced with challenges in integrating information. Information integration refers to the information exchange between two or more applications. In the present work, the information integration architecture design has been studied. Firstly, the complex integration relations are concerned and the concept of integrator is proposed to express the information integration relations. Secondly, an information integration metamodel is introduced as the context of our proposed integrator. Finally, based on the EAI （Enterprise application integra- tion） integration metamodel proposed by OMG （Object management group）, the integrator is also specified from aspects of construct elements, relations of elements and constraints of relations. Our study is aimed to improve both the flexibility of architecture evolution and reusability of integration solution through analyzing and specifying the integration relations.
