DASFAA 2003BYU Data Extraction Group Attribute Matching for Populated Schemas Central Idea: Exploit All Data & Metadata Matching Possibilities (Facets) –Attribute Names –Data-Value Characteristics –Expected Data Values –Data-Dictionary Information –Structural Properties

DASFAA 2003BYU Data Extraction Group Approach Target Schema T Source Schema S Framework –Individual Facet Matching –Combining Facets –Best-First Match Iteration

DASFAA 2003BYU Data Extraction Group Example Source Schema S Car Year has 0:1 Make has 0:1 Model has 0:1 Cost Style has 0:1 0:* Year has 0:1 Feature has 0:* Cost has 0:1 Car Mileage has Phone has 0:1 Model has 0:1 Target Schema T Make has 0:1 Miles has 0:1 Year Model Make Year Make Model Car MileageMiles
