Abstract

In this paper we propose a system supporting the semi-automatic definition of inter-attribute mappings and transformation functions used as an ETL tool in a data warehouse project. The tool supports both schema level analysis, exploited for the mapping definitions amongst the data sources and the data warehouse, and instance level operations, exploited for defining transformation functions that integrate data coming from multiple sources in a common representation. Our proposal couples and extends the functionalities of two previously developed systems: the MOMIS integration system and the RELEVANT data analysis system.

This work was partially supported by MIUR co-funded project NeP4B (http://www. dbgroup.unimo.it/nep4b) and LISEA Laboratory (Italy, Emilia-Romagna Region -PRRIITT, measure 3.4).
