COMA-A system for flexible combination of schema matching approaches
Line
Speaker: Eric LO

 

Abstract

Schema matching is the task of finding semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. It is needed in many database applications such as integration of web data sources, data warehouse loading and XML message mapping. To reduce the amount of user effort as much as possible, automatic approaches combining several match techniques are required. In this paper, a schema matching system call COMA is developed. It provides a platform to combine multiple matchers in a flexible manner. The authors also proposed another new reuse-oriented matcher. Experiments shows that reuse-oriented matcher outperform traditional matchers in term of accuracy. Finally, potential research directions on schema matching problems will be discussed.
