Abstract
We define an object-oriented data model called XSDM (XML Schema Data Model) and present a graphical representation of XML Schema integration. The three layers included are, namely, pre-integration, comparison and integration. During pre-integration, the schema present in XML Schema notation is read and is converted into the XSDM notation. During the comparison phase of integration, correspondences as well as conflicts between elements are identified. During the integration phase, conflict resolution, restructuring and merging of the initial schemas take place to obtain the global schema.
Partially supported by NSERC grant 228127-01 and an internal LURF grant.
