An integrated matching system: GeRoMeSuite and SMB - results for OAEI 2010

tools aim at matching schemas; while GeRoMeSuite offers a variety of matchers, SMB provides the information on how to combine matchers and how to enhance match results. Thus, an integration of the tools is beneficial for both systems. 1 Presentation of the system 1.1 GeRoMeSuite As a framework for model management, GeRoMeSuite [3] provides an environment to simplify the implementation of model management operators. GeRoMeSuite is based on the generic role based metamodel GeRoMe [2], which represents models from different modeling languages (such as XML Schema, OWL, SQL) in a generic way. Thereby, the management of models in a polymorphic fashion is enabled, i.e., the same operator implementations are used regardless of the original modeling language of the schemas. In addition to providing a framework for model management, GeRoMeSuite implements several fundamental operators such as Match [6], Merge [5], and Compose [4]. The matching component of GeRoMeSuite has been described in more detail in [6], where we present and discuss in particular the results for heterogeneous matching
