Catalog Integration Made Easy

چکیده
In this paper, we study adaptive evaluation techniques for querying XMLbased electronic catalogs, and show, by means of experiments performed on real-world catalogs, that our approach can be used to integrate them with virtually zero effort at start-up time, and a small constant factor needed to perform the adaptive evaluation for all subsequent queries. We reach the conclusion that, from a strictly technical perspective, the classic role of the global catalog can be assumed in an ad-hoc manner by any catalog that forms part of a collaborative federation of XML-based catalogs, and implements our adaptive query algorithms, independently of the storage model used to access its contents.

Hierarchical Web Catalog Integration with Conceptual Relationships in a Thesaurus
Web catalog integration has become an integral aspect of current digital content management for Internet and e-commerce environments. The Web catalog integration problem concerns integration of documents in a source catalog into a destination catalog. Many investigations have focused on flattened (one-dimensional) catalogs, but few works address hierarchical Web catalog integration. This study ...
متن کاملA Layered Integration Approach for Product Descriptions in B2B E-commerce
Electronic B2B marketplaces bring together many online suppliers and buyers, each of which can potentially use their own format to represent the products in his product catalog. To mediate the participants the marketplaces have to perform nontrivial mappings of these catalog formats. In this paper we analyze the problems, which occur in defining mapping rules able to translate between these for...
متن کاملA Two-Layered Integration Approach for Product Information in B2B E-commerce
Electronic B2B marketplaces bring together many online suppliers and buyers, each of which can potentially use his own format to represent the products in his product catalog. The marketplaces have to perform non-trivial mappings of these catalogs. In this paper, we analyze the problems which occur during the integration, taking several leading XML-based standards as an example. We advocate a t...

متن کاملAn Iterative Approach for Web Catalog Integration with Support Vector Machines
Web catalog integration is an emerging problem in current digital content management. Past studies show that more improvement on integration accuracy can be achieved with advanced classifiers. Because Support Vector Machine (SVM) has shown its supremeness in recent research, we propose an iterative SVM-based approach (SVM-IA) to improve the integration performance. We have conducted experiments...
