Schema matching is a fundamental and very difficult task of data
integration. Based on our experience gained in developing
original schema matching tools and industrial-strenght data
integration systems, we are developing the WebSmatch software, a
flexible, open environment for Web schema matching. To foster
its use by data integrators over the Web, WebSMatch has a modern
architecture based on Web services and RIA (Rich Internet
Application). A WebSmatch client is an RIA to be used within any
modern browser, thus providing an easy, yet powerful GUI. Our
RIA is implemented in GWT (Google Web Toolkit). A client can call
WebSmatch services through Web services to perform various
functions such as
extracting metadata from data sources, e.g. xls files,
using machine learning techniques;
matching two or more schemas, using different matchers
which are made independent of input format (through the use of a
metametamodel);
clustering similar schemas;
importing/exporting in any format.
Each service can be used independently by any kind of
client that supports standard web service calls.
