A method, apparatus and program storage device is provided for mapping data objects residing in multiple data sources, or generated dynamically, into a single or multiple, reusable software components, for integrated information access to multiple disparate data sources, residing on or generating the data dynamically on different hardware systems and possibly in different data formats. The method has steps for identifying data objects in multiple data sources, employing an information integration software facility for connecting to the data sources containing the data objects and registering the data objects, creating at least one virtual data object having at least one attribute from the selected registered data objects, and a step for wrapping access to the at least one virtual data object into a reusable software component, as though it was a single real data object, accessible directly from software applications.
