作者:

Highlights:

• We describe to what extent the specificities of DTDs/XSDs impact on the Schema Matching task.

• We introduce a template to describe the main components of an XML Matcher, their role and behavior.

• We illustrate how each of these components has been implemented in some popular XML Matchers.

• We analyze commercial tools implementing XML Matchers.

• We discuss XML source clustering and uncertainty management in XML Matchers.
