Abstract

XML Schema matching problem can be formulated as follows: given two XML Schemas, find the best mapping between the elements and attributes of the schemas, and the overall similarity between them. XML Schema matching is an important problem in data integration, schema evolution, and software reuse. This paper describes a matching system that can find accurate matches and scales to large XML Schemas with hundreds of nodes. In our system, XML Schemas are modeled as labeled and unordered trees, and the schema matching problem is turned into a tree matching problem. We proposed Approximate Common Structures in trees, and developed a tree matching algorithm based on this concept. Compared with the traditional tree edit-distance algorithm and other schema matching systems, our algorithm is faster and more suitable for large XML Schema matching.
