Reconciling Semantic Heterogeneity in Web Services Composition

“…Thus, the number of predefined conversions is largely reduced. As discussed in (Gannon et al 2009), the mechanism of the conversion composition significantly enhances the adaptability, extensibility, and scalability of the COIN-based solution.…”

“…The algorithm of conversion composition can be found in (Zhu and Madnick 2006). Compared to the brute-force integration approaches, the mechanism of constructing composite conversions consisting of parameterized atomic conversions significantly enhances the adaptability and scalability of our reconciliation solution (Gannon et al 2009;Zhu and Madnick 2006).…”

“…To evaluate the benefits of our reconciliation solution, we take the evaluation framework that utilizes an analytical approach to indirectly measure human efforts with respect to the number of conversions to be manually specified and maintained over time (Gannon et al 2009). The measurements of the framework are as follows:…”

“…Researchers argue that a mediator should rewrite database queries and query results to abstract from different representations and units [7]. Gannon et al extended this idea by developing a language that allows integrating new information sources by specifying transformation rules [19]. Both approaches cover only pull-based, static database access, with a known recipient of the requested data.…”
