This book presents a method for database schema
matching, the problem of identifying elements of two
given schemas that correspond to each other. Schema
matching is useful in e-commerce exchanges, in data
integration/warehousing, and in Semantic Web
applications. It first presents two corpus-based
methods: one method is for determining the semantic
similarity of two target words and the other is for
automatic word segmentation. Then it presents a
name-based element-level database schema matching
method that exploits both the semantic similarity and
the word segmentation methods.
