A novel heterogeneous data integration approach for p2p semantic link network
Hai Zhuge, Jie Liu · 2004
This paper proposes a novel approach to integrate heterogeneous data in P2P networks. The approach includes a tool for building P2P semantic link networks, mechanisms for peer schema mapping, criteria for peer similarity degree measurement, and algorithms for heterogeneous data integration. The approach has three advantages: First, it uses semantic links to describe semantic relationships between peers' data schemas. Second, it deals with the semantic heterogeneity, the structural heterogeneity and the data value inconsistency. Finally, it considers the semantic similarity and structural similarity to forward queries to relevant peers.
