Abstract

Schema matching is the task of finding semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas, which plays a key role in many database applications. In this paper, we treat the schema matching problem as a combinatorial problem. First, we propose an internal schema model, i.e., the multilabeled graph, and transform schemas into multi-labeled graphs. Secondly, we discuss a generic graph similarity measure, and propose an optimization function based on multi-labeled graph similarity. Then, we cast schema matching problem into a multi-labeled graph matching problem, which is a classic combinational problem. Finally, we implement a greedy algorithm to find the feasible matching results.
