The accompanying expansion of Electronic Commerce (EC) has also brought dramatic changes to businesses. A large number of companies, organizations, and customers are exploiting the opportunities offered by EC solutions and many more are expected to follow. Thus, WWW, a distributed global information resource, is not only important for individual users, but for business organizations. Information integration on WWW has become important. It has evolved from a traditional multi-database architecture to a new framework dealing with a variety of information available in diverse formats and structures since information on the web might be structured, semi-structured or unstructured. With corporate data already available in database management systems, the need for connectivity between database and WWW is apparent. However, WWW information management, exchange, and integration among individuals and enterprises which using different information standard is still a problem. In this paper, a mechanism for web information integration by using Enhanced Entity Relationship (EER) Model is investigated. With a universal view of different heterogeneous information, after our integration process users in enterprises can therefore understand and analyze web information in a more convenient and broad way.
