This project aims at bridging across heterogeneous data and will
impact applications in multiple fields, including emergency management, biomedicine, digital government, and environment.
In particular, this project extends the state of the art in schema and ontology matching, and therefore in data
integration, by testing and evaluating methods and strategies that establish relationships among semantically related
concepts in heterogeneous data sources.
The following research issues are addressed: (1) Design of methods and algorithms for schema and ontology matching
that operate at different levels of granularity (e.g., concept, structure); (2) Development of a prototype of an
integrated system that supports the visualization and manipulation of large schemas and ontologies in addition
to the developed matching methods and algorithms; (3) Test and evaluation of the above methods and system prototype
in terms of their effectiveness, including accuracy (precision, recall) and efficiency (execution time). From an
educational viewpoint, this project impacts the design of courses and the research training of graduate and undergraduate
students, and of a postdoc.
