Abstract
Schema analysis is a very important issue in the integration of a corporate information system. The basic problems to be dealt with during integration come from structural and semantical diversities in schemas to be merged. Before we integrate local schemas, we must ascertain how conflicts and correspondences between types in different schemas can be identified. In this paper, we present a strategy for schema analysis based on a knowledge-based version of the object-oriented paradigm and describe a methodology for discovering structural and semantic relatedness of components within disparate information sources.
