Self-Organizing Schema Mappings in the GridVine Peer Data Management System

چکیده
GridVine is a Peer Data Management System based on a decentralized access structure. Built following the principle of data independence, it separates a logical layer – where data, schemas and mappings are managed – from a physical layer consisting of a structured Peer-to-Peer network supporting efficient routing of messages and index load-balancing. Our system is totally decentralized, yet it fosters semantic interoperability through pairwise schema mappings and query reformulation. In this demonstration, we present a set of algorithms to automatically organize the network of schema mappings. We concentrate on three key functionalities: (1) the sharing of data, schemas and schema mappings in the network, (2) the dynamic creation and deprecation of mappings to foster global interoperability, and (3) the propagation of queries using the mappings. We illustrate these functionalities using bioinformatic schemas and data in a network running on several hundreds of peers simultaneously.

متن کاملSelf Organizing Semantic Topologies in Peer Database Systems
A semantic topology is a peer overlay network connected via semantic links, constructed using schema mappings and used for peer querying. The large-scale and dynamic environments of P2P networks dictate the use of automatic schema matching, which was shown to carry with it a degree of uncertainty, entailing uncertainty amplification over transitive mappings. Therefore, peers prefer network topo...
متن کاملSelf-Extending Peer Data Management
Peer data management systems (PDMS) are the natural extension of integrated information systems. Conventionally, a single integrating system manages an integrated schema, distributes queries to appropriate sources, and integrates incoming data to a common result. In contrast, a PDMS consists of a set of peers, each of which can play the role of an integrating component. A peer knows about its n...
متن کاملBi-Level Mapping: Combining Schema and Data Level Heterogeneity in Peer Data Sharing Systems
Peer data sharing systems use either schema-level or data-level mappings to resolve schema as well as data heterogeneity among data sources (peers). Schema-level mappings create structural relationships among different schemas. On the other hand, data-level mappings associate data values in two different sources. These two kinds of mappings are complementary to each other. However, existing pee...
متن کاملGridVine: Building Internet-Scale Semantic Overlay Networks
This paper addresses the problem of building scalable semantic overlay networks. Our approach follows the principle of data independence by separating a logical layer, the semantic overlay for managing and mapping data and metadata schemas, from a physical layer consisting of a structured peer-to-peer overlay network for efficient routing of messages. The physical layer is used to implement var...
