This paper introduces the first formal framework for learning mappings
between heterogeneous schemas which is based on logics and probability
theory. This task, also called “schema matching”, is a crucial step in integrating
heterogeneous collections. As schemas may have different granularities, and as
schema attributes do not always match precisely, a general-purpose schema mapping
approach requires support for uncertain mappings, and mappings have to be
learned automatically. The framework combines different classifiers for finding
