Research on Broken Mappings Detecting Method Based on Fuzzy Aggregation Operators in Deep Web Integration Environment

The deep web integration system employs a set of semantic mappings between the mediated schema and the schemas of web data sources. In this dynamic environment, sources often undergo changes that invalidate the mappings. Such continuous monitoring is extremely labor intensive, and poses a key bottleneck to the widespread deployment of web data integration systems in practice. The paper describes DBMFR (Detecting Broken Mappings Based on Fuzzy Reasoning) an automatic solution to detecting broken mappings. Fuzzy aggregation operators are leveraged to calculate the score, which implies whether the mapping is broken. The paper provides a new fuzzy reasoning algorithm based on fuzzy aggregation operators. Experiments over real-world sources demonstrate the effectiveness of our fuzzy-based approach over existing solutions, as well as the utility of our improvements.
