Abstract

Using query interfaces of different Web databases, we propose a new complex schema matching approach, Parallel Schema Matching (PSM). A parallel schema is formed by comparing two individual schemas and deleting common attributes. The attribute matching can be discovered from the attribute-occurrence patterns if many parallel schemas are available. A count-based greedy algorithm identifies which attributes are more likely to be matched. Experiments show that PSM can identify both simple matching and complex matching accurately and efficiently.
