Abstract

Many applications have been developed in the area of semantic data integration. However little or no usability practices are in the place to make such applications useful. This paper presents our experiences in building ARCH Data Integration Framework. ARCH combines usability issues with semantic web technologies in order to provide an efficient and user-friendly mapping process. The conducted usability evaluations on ARCH have shown that this tool efficiently supports users dealing with data matching.
