Restricting the overlap of Top-N sets in schema matching
Eric Peukert, Erhard Rahm · 2011
Computing similarities between metadata elements is an essential process in schema and ontology matching systems. Such systems aim at reducing the manual effort of finding mappings for data integration or ontology alignment. Similarity measures compute syntactic, semantic or structural similarities of metadata elements. Typically, different similarities are combined and the most similar element pairs are selected to produce a best-1 mapping suggestion.
