Effective data integration and
interoperability initiatives depend on effective schema matching and data
mapping tools. The purpose of this SIG is to bring practitioners together
to compare their real-world experiences with these technologies.
The session will begin with a survey of available tools from established and emerging vendors, academic research (previous and current), and overviews of in-house corporate initiatives. A moderated discussion will then follow, focusing on functionality, usability, operability and maintainability.
Corollary goals of this SIG are:
- to establish a recurring forum for practitioners to meet and discuss issues and opportunities related to these tools
- to identify a core group of committed peers who would be interested in co-authoring case-based "white papers" on schema matching and data mapping technologies.
Speaker Comment: This recurring SIG will hopefully initiate a thread for longer-term commitment from industry practioners. Moreover, the opportunity to be part of a working group and co-authoring "white papers" offers a career-enhancing option for participants.
