Abstract
Systems and methods for performing schema matching of multiple data dictionaries. Lexical graphs are generated for two or more data dictionaries. The lexical graphs include terms with definitions and identified links between terms. A data processing device determines if matches occur between the generated lexical graphs and outputs the result of the determination.
Claims20
A method performed on a computing device, the method comprising:
- generating lexical graphs for at least two data dictionaries, the lexical graphs including terms with definitions and identified links between terms;
- determining if matches occur between the generated lexical graphs;
- and
- presenting determined matches.

An apparatus comprising:
- an output device;
- an interface device;
- and
- a data processing device coupled to the output device and the interface device, the data processing device including:
- a first component configured to communicate with at least two data dictionaries;
- a second component configured to generate lexical graphs for the at least two data dictionaries, the lexical graphs including terms with definitions and identified links between terms;
- a third component configured to determine if matches occur between the generated lexical graphs;
- and
- a display processing component configured to generate a display based on the determined matches from the third component and transmit the image to the output device.
