Integration process of a various information in various database types requires a thorough understanding to carry out data extraction process in terms of its scheme and the structure. Due to this, a new model should be developed to resolve the integration process of this heterogeneous information in various database types and in various scattered and distributed locations. SIDIM is a model which covered processes such as pre-integration, scheme comparison, algorithm and intermediary software (middleware) development process and as well as post-integration. Emphasis are administered in algorithm development by using hybrid approach based on CLARANS approach's combination, abstract visualization and Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) to enable to achieve the required processed data or information in a quick, trusted and reliable manner. SIDIM will become a new engine to process information in various database types without changing any of the existing (legacy) organization system. To verify this model credibility, the case study related to fishing industry in Malaysia and artificial reef project are being made as a foundation for SIDIM efficiency testing. © 2012
