Semantic dictionary design for database interoperability
Silvana Castano, V. De Antonellis · 2002
Criteria and techniques to support the establishment of a semantic dictionary for database interoperability are described. The techniques allow the analysis of conceptual schemas of databases in a federation and the definition and maintenance of concept hierarchies. Similarity-based criteria are used to evaluate concept closeness and, consequently, to generate concept hierarchies. Experimentation of the techniques in the public administration domain is discussed.
