Abstract

Schema matching is one of the key operations in XML-based information integration and exchanging applications. Automatically or semi-automatically matching XML schemas has attracted a lot of attentions in academia and industry due to the extensive adoption of XML techniques. One of the most difficult tasks in this problem is to identify structural relations between two XML schemas. This thesis builds an automatic XML schema matching system which generates two types of outputs: the element mappings and schema similarity. In this system, an XML schema is modeled as a tree. We have proposed a new tree matching algorithm to compute the structural relation by extracting the most similar common substructures. The algorithm has been designed to achieve a trade-off between matching optimality and time complexity. The experimental results show that this system can be used to match large XML schemas.Dept. of Computer Science.
