Abstract
We propose a lightweight framework for data exchange that is
suitable for non-expert and casual users sharing data on theWeb and/or through
peer-to-peer systems. Unlike previ- ous work, we consider a minimalistic data
model and schema formalism that are suitable for describing online data and
propose algorithms for mapping such schemas as well as for translating the
corresponding instances. Also our solution requires minimal overhead and setup
costs (e.g., we consider data stored in tables, XML or CSV files) comparing
to ex- isting data exchange systems, making it very attractive in our
setting. We report experimental results indicating that our method works well
with real Web data from various do- mains.
