Abstract
GML has been a standard in geographical information area for enhancing the interoperability of various GIS systems for data mining. In order to share geography information based on GML, problems in application schema match need to be overcome first. This paper introduces an integrated multi-strategy approach on GML application schema match. It combines existing scheme match algorithm with GML3.0 application schema. Firstly, it transforms the input GML application schemas into a GSTree according to linguistic-based and constraint-based match rules. Similarity between two elements is calculated trough different rules separately, and merged into element-level similarity. Secondly, the element-level similarity is rectified by a structure-level match algorithm based on similarity flooding. Finally, the mapping table of GML application schema elements is obtained. The experiment result shows that the approach can effectively discovery the similarity of schema elements, and improve the match results with a high degree of accuracy.
