Abstract
Human⁃centric service is an important domain in smart city and includes rich applications that help residents with shopping, din⁃ ing, transportation, entertainment, and other daily activities. These applications have generated a massive amount of hierarchical data with different schemas. In order to manage and analyze the city⁃wide and cross⁃application data in a unified way, data sche⁃ ma integration is necessary. However, data from human⁃centric services has some distinct characteristics, such as lack of support for semantic matching, large number of schemas, and incompleteness of schema element labels. These make the schema integra⁃ tion difficult using existing approaches. We propose a novel framework for the data schema integration of the human⁃centric servic⁃ es in smart city. The framework uses both schema metadata and instance data to do schema matching, and introduces human inter⁃ vention based on a similarity entropy criteria to balance precision and efficiency. Moreover, the framework works in an incremen⁃ tal manner to reduce computation workload. We conduct an experiment with real⁃world dataset collected from multiple estate sale application systems. The results show that our approach can produce high⁃quality mediated schema with relatively less human in⁃ terventions compared to the baseline method. schema matching; schema integration; smart city; human⁃centric service
