Abstract

In this paper, we focus on a new problem in database integration---attribute correspondence identification in multilingual schemas, and give a rule-based method for the problem. Attribute correspondence identification in multilingual schemas involves the study of integrating schemas, designed in various languages, and returns the correspondences among those schemas. We first analyze the problem through two schemas of a large financial corporate of China. Based on the relationships of the attribute names of the schemas, a method of name-based attribute correspondence identification is proposed. And we give a computer-aided system to deal with the problem according to the method. The components and identifying procedure of the method have been discussed in detail in the paper. We have implemented a prototype, and the tool shows its effectiveness in application.
