Abstract

This paper presents an approach for automated mapping metadata according to the characteristics of metadata. A metadata tree matching model is constructed with tree matching theory. First, the metadata should be transformed as a rooted unordered tree. Then, node and structural matching could be conducted. Finally, we get metadata node pairs matched successfully. Accordingly a metadata tree matching algorithm is proposed based on tree path matching. The matching model and algorithm can be applied in automated mapping of heterogeneous metadata, which could construct the foundation of information resource integration, management and interaction.
