Schema Mapping and Data Conversion System for Integrating Article Metadata

We devise data conversion methods and implement schema mapping and conversion system based on the study on research paper metadata characteristics analysis. Data conversion in unified form from databases of various systems is necessary for big data analysis. Legacy data conversion systems have drawbacks of syntax dependent problem and inconvenience for use. The implemented system, which is specialized system for research paper metadata, has easy schema mapping interface and can convert data with various syntax. In addition to that, Recompiling of the system is not necessary even if new schema which is not preregistered in the system comes in. We proved its usefulness by usability evaluation.
