Research of Information Integration Based on XML Schema Matching

Information integration is one of core problem for enterprise, the automatic integration for heterogeneous information is important to solve this problem. So this paper presents the method for information integration based on XML schema matching to realize information transport and integration across heterogeneous platforms. In this method, the Web services is adopted to solve the heterogeneity of data platform, the information is transformed to XML model, the schema integration is completed according to the XML schema matching, and the mapping relationship between different XML schema elements is created accordingly. When the user accesses the heterogeneous information, the mediator implements the instance integration according to this mapping relationship. Experiment indicated that this method can realize the information integration automatically.
