EDEX: Entity Preserving Data Exchange

Abstract

Data Exchange creates an instance of a target schema from an instance of a source such that source data is reflected in the target instance. The prevailing approach for data exchange is based on generating and using schema mapping expressions representing high level relations between source and target. We show such class level schema mappings cannot resolve some ambiguous cases. We propose an Entity Preserving Data Exchange (EDEX) method that reflects source entities in the target independent of classification of entities. We show EDEX can reconcile such ambiguities while generates a core solution as an efficient solution.
