A Model for XML Schema Integration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We define an object-oriented data model called XSDM (XML Schema Data Model) and present a graphical representation of XML Schema integration. The three layers included are, namely, pre-integration, comparison and integration. During pre-integration, the schema present in XML Schema notation is read and is converted into the XSDM notation. During the comparison phase of integration, correspondences as well as conflicts between elements are identified. During the integration phase, conflict resolution, restructuring and merging of the initial schemas take place to obtain the global schema.

An XML Schema integration and query mechanism system
The availability of large amounts of heterogeneous distributed web data necessitates the integration of XML data from multiple XML sources for many reasons. For example, currently, there are many e-commerce companies, which offer similar products but use different XML schemas with possibly different ontologies. When any two such companies merge, or make an effort to service customers in coopera...
متن کاملQuery rewriting for open XML data integration systems
This paper presents OpenXView, a model for open XML data integration systems, characterized by the autonomy of users that publish XML data on a common topic. Autonomy implies frequent and unpredictable changes to data and a high degree of structure heterogeneity. The OpenXView model provides an original integration schema, based on a hybrid ontology XML schema structure. We propose solutions fo...
متن کاملHandling XML with a Deductive Database System
We propose an integration of XML with F-Logic, a deductive object-oriented database framework. The F-Logic data model is in fact a semistructured data model, exhibiting many similarities with the XML/DOM data model: there is a canonical mapping from XML to a fragment of F-Logic. The advantages of the integration are that the full expressiveness of F-Logic (and the functionality of the FLORID sy...
متن کاملBInXS: A Process for Integration of XML Schemata
This paper presents a detailed integration process for XML schemata called BInXS. BInXS adopts a global-as-view integration approach that builds a global schema from a set of heterogeneous XML schemata related to a same application domain. This bottom-up approach maps all element and attribute definitions in XML schemata to correspondent concepts at the global schema, allowing access to all dat...
متن کاملRepresenting XML Schema in UML - An UML Profile for XML Schema
There is a need to integrate XML schemas, i.e., schemas written in XML Schema, into UML-based software development processes. Not only the production of XML schemas out of UML models is required, but even more the integration of given XML schemas as input into the development process. In the model driven architecture, a two step integration is assumed, comprising a platform specific model and a...
