Management of Executable Schema Mappings for XML Data Exchange
نویسنده
چکیده
Executable schema mappings between XML schemas are essential to support numerous data management tasks such as data exchange, data integration and schema evolution. The novelty of this paper consists in a method for automatic generation of automappings (automorphisms) from key constraints and value dependencies over XML schemas, and designing algebraic operations on mappings and schemas represented by automappings. During execution of mappings some missing or incomplete data may be inferred. A well-defined executable semantics for mappings and operations on mappings are proposed. A mapping language XDMap to specify XML schema mappings is discussed. The language allows to specify executable mappings that can be used to compute target instances from source instances preserving key constraints and value dependencies. The significance of mappings and operators over mappings is discussed on a scenario of data exchange in a P2P setting.

1 XML schema mappings using schema constraints and Skolem functions ?
A schema mapping is an executable specification describing transformation of data structured under different schemas. In this paper we discuss the problem of automatic generation of XML schema mappings using information provided by schemas and correspondences between schemas. Mappings are specified in a mapping language XDMap whose constructs are based on Skolem functions. We use Skolem functio...

Schema mappings are high level specifications, usually given in some logical formalism, that describe the correspondence between schemas. In this paper we describe our research project about the development of a general framework for managing schema mappings in the context of data exchange both for the case of relational and XML databases. Our project includes the identification of operators be...
متن کاملSchema Matching for Document Exchange: A Constraint Based Approach
Information systems’ activities are increasingly becoming distributed. Many systems, therefore, need to exchange documents in order to correctly perform a critical activity. Data stores on the originating and receiving systems rarely have identical structures. As a consequence, document exchange commonly requires that the data be transformed from the originating site, to the document exchange f...

متن کاملSchema- and Ontology-Based XML Data Exchange in Semantic E-Business Applications
The problem of the semantics-preserving data transformations during their exchange by e-business applications is addressed. A method for automatic generation of schema mappings is proposed, which is based on the XML schema definition and the specification of the schema semantics via the relevant ontology.
