Abstract:
Various embodiments virtualize data across heterogeneous formats. In one embodiment, a plurality of heterogeneous data sources is received as input. A local schema graph including a set of attribute nodes and a set of type nodes is generated for each of the plurality of heterogeneous data sources. A global schema graph is generated based on each local schema graph that has been generated. The global schema graph comprises each of the local schema graphs and at least one edge between at least one of two or more attributes nodes and two or more type nodes from different local schema graphs. The edge indicates a relationship between the data sources represented by the different local schema graphs comprising the two or more attributes nodes based on a computed similarity between at least one value associated with each of the two or more attributes nodes.
