Abstract

Schema matching, the problem of finding semantic correspondences between elements of source and warehouse schemas, plays a key role in data warehousing. Currently, schema mapping is largely determined manually by domain experts, thus a labor-intensive process. In this paper, we propose a structural matching algorithm based on semantic similarity propagation. Experimental results on several real-world domains are presented, and show that the algorithm discovers semantic mappings with a high degree of accuracy.
