Composing local-as-view mappings
Patricia C. Arocena, Ariel Fuxman, Renée J. Miller · 2010
Schema mapping composition is a fundamental operation in schema management and data exchange. The mapping composition problem has been extensively studied for a number of mapping languages, most notably source-to-target tuple-generating dependencies (s-t tgds). An important class of s-t tgds are local-as-view (LAV) tgds. This class of mappings is prevalent in practical data integration and exchange systems, and recent work by ten Cate and Kolaitis shows that such mappings possess desirable structural properties.
