Abstract :
The problem of semantic reconciliation in heterogeneous databases is discussed. In general, semantic differences are context dependent. The context within which the semantics are interpreted must thus be clearly understood to facilitate reconciliation. Context can be refined by accumulating semantic information according to precedence relationships modeled after the steps of static schema integration
