INTEGRATED XML SCHEMA FOR HETEROGENEOUS XML SCHEMAS

Abstract

With the growing popularity of the XML model and the proliferation of online XML documents, the automated matching of XML documents and databases has become a critical problem. Currently, many recent applications are based on XML documents. Schema matching plays a central role in a myriad of XML-based applications. There is an increasing need to develop effective matching systems to identify and discover semantic matches between XML data. XML schema matching methods face several challenges in the form of definition, adoption, use and combination of element similarity measurements. In this system, element type conflicts, constraints, naming conflicts, and the semantic and structural information of two specific XML schemas are solved.
