Abstract

Schema integration is the activity of providing a unified representation of multiple data sources. The core problems in schema integration are: schema matching and schema merging. There are uncertain problems in schema matching and schema merging. To solve the uncertain problems of relational schema integration, Domain Knowledge Application Model (DKAM) is proposed as a component of Uncertain Relational Schema Integration Model (URSIM). An autonomic computing approach is adopted in DKAM. Semantic integration approach and D-S evidence combination approach are applied in URSIM. A new method is proposed to calculate reliability of global integrated schema in the paper. Experimental results show that URSIM is feasible and DKAM is valuable and advanced. In contrast with current methods for schema integration with uncertainty, URSIM is efficient and the time complexity is reduced.
