Using Schema Matching to Simplify Heterogeneous Data Translation

Summary: A schema-matching-driven translation system automates heterogeneous data conversion when source and target schemas are similar. Common models and rule-based component matching reduce mapping code while supporting customization and integration with traditional data-based translation languages.
