Multilingual thesauri matching is a recent research topic concerning the application of the traditional schema matching algorithms in conjunction with the use of multilingual resources. In this paper, we present a multilingual matching approach aiming at defining matches between terms belonging to multilingual thesauri. The paper presents the approach as a variant of the schema matching problem...

Automating schema matching is challenging. Previous approaches focus on computing all element matches between two schemas and don’t take into account the preferences of the user who can be only interested in specific elements of the schema. We propose a new approach based on the user preferences to extract subsets of schemas on which will be applied the matching process. Fuzzy sets can be used ...

In this paper, we propose to extend current practice in schema matching with the simultaneous use of top-K schema mappings rather than a single best mapping. This is a natural extension of existing methods (which can be considered to fall into the top-1 category), taking into account the imprecision inherent in the schema matching process. The essence of this method is the simultaneous generati...

In this paper, we present the AbsMatcher system for schema matching which uses a graph based approach. The primary contribution of this paper is the development of new types of relationships for generating graph edges and the effectiveness of integrating schemas using those graphs. AbsMatcher creates a graph of related attributes within a schema, mines similarity between attributes in different...

In this paper, we present the AbsMatcher system for schema matching which uses a graph based approach. AbsMatcher creates a graph of related attributes within a schema, mines similarity between attributes in different schemas, and then combines all information using the ABSURDIST graph matching algorithm. The focus of this paper is on methods for generating relationships which are semantic in n...

This paper introduces an XML Schema management platform that promotes the use of matching techniques to fulfill the requirements of data integration and data exchange. The existing platforms, in the market, deal only with graphical but not automatic matching. Several matching algorithms were suggested, by different researchers, to automate the correspondences discovery between XML Schemas. Thes...
