A Schema Transformation Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a new approach to schema evolution, which combines the activities of schema integration and schema evolution into one framework. In previous work we have developed a general framework to support schema transformation and integration in heterogeneous database architectures. Here we show how this framework also readily supports evolution of source schemas, allowing the global schema and the query translation pathways to be easily repaired, as opposed to having to be regenerated, after changes to source schemas.

An Approach for Generating an XML Data Warehouse Schema using Model Transformation Language
Traditionally, the multidimensional schema of the data warehouse is derived from data sources that are mainly the company’s internal data, well-known and structured, by identifying facts, dimensions and numeric measurements through a manual analysis of the operational schemas. With the proliferation of new platforms of communication in today’s information societies, there has been growing numbe...
متن کاملAn Improved Semantic Schema Matching Approach
Schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, Online Analytical Process (OLAP), Data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. This task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. Recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. In this paper, we present a new impr...
متن کاملXML Data Transformation and Integration — A Schema Transformation Approach
The process of transforming and integrating XML data involves resolving the syntactic, semantic and schematic heterogeneities that the data sources present. Moreover, there are a number of different application settings in which such a process could take place, such as centralised or peer-to-peer settings, each of which needs to be considered separately. In this thesis, we investigate the probl...
متن کاملInformation Sharing for the Semantic Web -a Schema Transformation Approach
This paper proposes a framework for transforming and integrating heterogeneous XML data sources, making use of known correspondences from them to ontologies expressed in the form of RDFS schemas. Our algorithms generate schema transformation/integration rules which are implemented in the AutoMed heterogeneous data integration system. The paper first illustrates how correspondences to a single o...
متن کاملInvestigating a heterogeneous data integration approach for data warehousing
Data warehouses integrate data from remote, heterogeneous, autonomous data sources into a materialised central database. The heterogeneity of these data sources has two aspects, data expressed in different data models, called model heterogeneity, and data expressed within different schemas of the same data model, called schema heterogeneity. AutoMed is an approach to heterogeneous data transfor...
