Abstract

The paper describes a prototype tool, named DIXSE, which supports the integration of XML Document Type Definitions (DTDs) into a common conceptual schema. The mapping from each individual DTD into the common schema is used to automatically generate wrappers for XML documents, which conform to a given DTD. These wrappers are used to populate the common conceptual schema thereby achieving data integration for XML documents.
