HUB DATABASE Yes, definitely! The HUB describes exactly the 'carrefour' role of the base. That was in fact the term I was looking for.

Thanks to you both for getting back so quickly! I will definitely take your comments under advisement.
lydiar Dec 13, 2010:
It would work, but seems a little 'imaginative' not typical for DB architecture! All depends on the register/use of the document.

hub database I like it! But there's a definition chez IBM:

A hub is best described as the collection of data attributes specific to your domain. The hub contains the customized algorithms processed by the Master Data Engine and the rule definitions used by the engine to form entities and relationships between records.

Thanks for your responses. What do you think of "hub database"?

shared database

I think this is referring to a shared database that may be used by other applications.
There may be a more technical database related term, but that could depend on the DB technology so shared is probably sufficient here.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I went with "shared database" before I saw your comment, Louis. I thought it would be a little "safer". It's good to know that you all like the term "hub database" in case the term comes up again."

interfacing database

It's a made-up term in French which gives you liberty to make something up in English. You might even get away with "crossroads database".

gateway or network database

Perhaps? Especially if the term is to be specific to the technology/platform/etc. being used.

Actually, I like hub (the author's proposal) even better.

Oops, I meant the ASKER's proposal.
