It is frequent in practice that different logical XML
schemas representing the same reality from different
viewpoints exist. There is also usually a conceptual diagram
modeling the reality independently of the viewpoints.
It is important to keep the XML schemas and
conceptual diagram consistent as they are both utilized
for different purposes. In practice, this is however rarely
the case. In this paper, we propose a reverse engineering
method as a solution to this problem. We provide a semiŠautomatic algorithm that produces mappings of components
of the XML schemas to components of the conceptual
diagram. The method only provides suggestions for
the mapping and manual participation of a domain expert
is therefore required. |
