Having defined what the matching problem is, we attempt at classifying the techniques that can be used for solving this problem. The major contributions of the previous decades are presented in [Larson
et al.
, 1989, Batini
et al.
, 1986, Kashyap and Sheth, 1996, Parent and Spaccapietra, 1998], while the topic through the recent years have been surveyed in [Rahm and Bernstein, 2001, Wache
et al.
, 2001, Kalfoglou and Schorlemmer, 2003b]. These three works address the matching problem from different perspectives (artificial intelligence, information systems, databases) and analyse disjoint sets of systems. [Shvaiko and Euzenat, 2005] have attempted to consider the above mentioned works together, focusing on schema-based matching methods, and aiming to provide a common conceptual basis for their analysis. Here, we follow and extend this work on classifying matching approaches and use it in the following chapters for organising the presentation.
