Abstract
Schema matching is a key operation in meta-information applications. In this paper, we propose a new efficient schema matching algorithm to find both direct element correspondences and indirect element correspondences. Our algorithm sufficiently exploits semantic, structure and instance information of two schemas. It has advantages of various kinds of algorithms and hence a learning methodism.
