Abstract

This paper describes a matching algorithm that can find accurate matches and scales to large XML Schemas with hundreds of nodes. We model XML Schemas as labeled, unordered and rooted trees, and turn the schema matching problem into a tree matching problem. We develop a tree matching algorithm based on the concept of Approximate Common Structures. Compared with the tree edit-distance algorithm and other Schema matching systems, our algorithm is faster and more suitable for large XML Schema matching.
