2. RDF Schema XML Schema XML RDF OWL Schema and Ontology • Schema represents Database Community • Schemas often do not provide explicit semantics of their data (ER, XML document schema). • Ontology represents the AI Community • Ontologies are logical systems that themselves obey some formal semantics. Designed to be interpreted by computers for reasoning (OWL) • Schemas and Ontologies are similar in the sense that • Both provide a vocabulary of terms that describes a domain • Both constraint the meaning of terms used in vocabulary (Hierarchy/ relations)

Rowling 11,50 Marie Des Intrigues Juliette Benzoni Match • Takes two schemas/ontologies as input and produces a mapping between elements of the two schemas that correspond semantically to each other complex match 1-1 match

5. Schema Matching vs Ontology Matching • Schema matching is usually performed with the help of techniques trying to guess the meaning encoded in the schemas • Ontology matching try to exploit knowledge explicitly encoded in the ontologies.` In real world applications : Solutions from both domains are mutually beneficial

6. Application Domains • Traditional (Static) • Schema Integration • Data warehousing • E-commerce • Catalogue Integration • New Frontiers (Dynamic) • Semantic Query Processing • Agent Communication • Web Services Integration • P2P Databases

7. Basic Classification of Matchers [RB01] • Schema vs Data Instance • Element vs Structure • Language vs Constraint • String based : Prefix, Suffix e.g. auth: author • Tokenization, Lemmatization, Eliminition [GSY04] Tool_Kit :(Tool,Kit), Kits:Kit, IsRelatedTo : Related • Data Types, Value domain e.g. 1..12 : month • Match Cardinalities - 1:1, 1:n, n:m (Tel Res, Other) : (Tel Day, Evening, Night) • Auxiliary Information • Global Schema, Dictionaries, Thesauri, Previous Match Decisions, User Input

8. Basic Classification of Matchers [SE05] • Structure Level Techniques • Graph Matching • Children • Leaves • Relations • Taxonomy based Techniques e.g if super concept is same then sub concepts are same or vice versa • Model Based • ER, XML or XML schema, OWL, OO etc. Combinational Matchers [RB01] • Hybrid Matcher • Multiple/Composite Matcher

9. Match Dimensions [SE05] For Match Algorithms designing We need the knowledge for its utilization i.e. Dimensions • Input of the Algorithm • Data or Schema, Element level or Structure Level • Characteristics of the Matching Process • Require exact or approximate matching • Performance over quality • Output of the Algorithms • Output is a graded result, or part of a set of match algorithms which are combined together for a map result

10. Existing Matching Tools • Cupid[MBR01] • COMA (COMA++)[ADMR05] • Similarity Flooding • SemInt • Artemis • DIKE • TransScm • AutoMed • Charlie[TBBT04] Ontologies Specific • NOM/ QOM • OLA • Anchor-PROMPT • S-Match [GSY04] • HICAL • SKAT

11. Matching Tools continued Machine Learning • GLUE (LSD, CGLUE)[DMDH02] • Automatch • These tools do not completely fulfil the requirements for large scale schema matching because • Not fully automated • Emphasise less on search space optimisation

14. Tree Mining Approach … continued • Data Structure used • Label List : Sorted list of all node labels in the forest of XML schema trees • xGrid : Matrix in which each row represent each participating XML tree and each column represents the corresponding node label. Each cell contains the scope values, parent node number and mapping information. • Output • Creation of a Mediated Schema Tree , from the given forest of participating XML schema trees. • Generation of Mapping Information between participating schema trees and the mediated schema tree

15. Sm S1 S2 S3 S4 Mapping Information is the column number of node Tree Mining Approach … continued

16. Conclusion • Element level Name and Linguistic Matching with the support of thesaurus is an integral part of every Match system. • With systems moving towards schema/ontology based manipulation, and lack of global schemas or previous matching results, Structure Level matching is equally important for making out the semantics. • Peer-to-peer environment requires new methods to be exploited for performance and quality mapping i.e. integration of Tree Mining techniques for matching purposes and search space optimisation. • Machine Learning algorithms can be beneficial in the P2P environment in later stages when training examples have been created from instance data, provided the target domain remains the same.
