Join us for an engaging session on debugging schema mappings using innovative techniques involving routes. This workshop will explore the fundamentals of schema mappings, which define the correspondence between source and target schemas in data exchange and integration. We will demonstrate how to debug at different levels, including implementation specifics like SQL and XQuery. Attendees will learn about routes, their computation, and their role in exploring schema mapping discrepancies. Practical examples and motivating case studies will guide the discussion.

I Source instance Schema Mappings • A schema mapping is a logical assertion that describes the correspondence between two schemas • Key element in data exchange and data integration systems • Data Exchange [FKMP05] • Translate data conforming to a source schema S into data conforming to a target schema T so that the schema mapping M is satisfied M Schema S Schema T J Target instance
I Source instance Debugging a Data Exchange Today M • Debugging at the (low) level of the implementation • Specific to the data exchange engine • Specific to the implementation language: XQuery, SQL, etc • Debugging at the level of schema mappings NO SUPPORT!!!

I Source instance Debugging Schema Mappings M • Debugging schema mappings: the process of exploring, understanding and refining a schema mapping through the use of (test) data at the level of schema mappings Schema S Schema T J Target instance
Outline • Overview • Motivation • Debugging schema mappings with routes • Motivating example • What are routes? • Computing routes • Related work • Performance evaluation • Conclusions
Motivation • Schema mappings are good • Higher-level, declarative programming constructs • Hide implementation details, allow for optimization • Typically easier to understand vs. SQL/XSLT/XQuery/Java • Serve a similar goal as model management [Bernstein03, MBHR05] • Uniformity in specifying and debugging • Reduce programming effort by allowing a user to specify and debug at the level of schema mappings • Schema mappings are often generated by schema matching tools • Close to user’s intention, but may need further refinements • Hard to understand without the help of tools
Language for Schema Mappings • Tuple generating dependencies (tgds) • 8x ((x) !9y(x,y)) • Equality generating dependencies (egds) • 8x ((x) ! x1 = x2) • Remarks: • Widely used for relational schema mappings in data exchange and data integration [Kolaitis05,Lenzerini02] • TGDs generalize LAV, GAV and are equivalent to GLAV assertions in the terminology of data integration • Extended to handle XML data exchange [PVMHF02]
I Source instance Relational Schema Mappings [FKMP03] • Schema mapping M = (S, T, st[t) • S, T: relational schemas with no relation symbols in common • Source-to-target dependencies st: • Source-to-target tgds (s-t tgds) S(x)!9y T(x,y) • Target dependencies t: • Target tgds: T(x)!9y T(x,y) • Target egds: T(x)!x1 = x2 ∑st ∑t Schema S Schema T J Target instance

Debugging Schema Mappings with Routes • Main intuition: routes describe the relationships between source and target data with the schema mapping • Definition: Let: • M be a schema mapping • I be a source instance • J be a solution for I under M and Jsµ J A route for Js with M and (I,J) is a finite non-empty sequence of satisfaction steps (I,;) ! (I,J1) ! … ! (I,Jn) such that: • Jiµ J, mi2st [ t, where 1· i· n • Jsµ Jn mn, hn m1, h1 m2, h2
Example of Satisfaction Step Target instance J Source instance I CardHolders Accounts Clients Dependents Unknown credit limit? Accounts CardHolders m1, h1 Clients m1: CardHolders(cn, l, s, n) !9L (Accounts(cn, L, s ) ^ Clients(s, n )) h1={cn ! ‘123’, l ! $15K, s ! ID1, n ! Alice, L ! L1}
Compute all routes • The schema mapping M is fixed • Input: source instance I, a solution J for I under M, a set of target tuples Jsµ J • Output: a forest representing all routes for Js • Algorithm idea: • For each tuple t in Js, consider every possible 2st[t and h for witnessing t • Do the same for all target tuples encountered during the process until tuples from the source instance are obtained

Properties of compute all routes • Completeness: Let F denote the route forest by our algorithm returned on Js. If R is a minimal route for Js, then it is represented in F. • Running time: polynomial in the sizes of I, J and Js • Every “branch of a tuple” once explored, is never explored again • Polynomial number of branches for each tuple since M is fixed • Challenge: • Exponentially many routes, but polynomial-size representation constructed in polynomial time
Compute one route • Our experimental results indicate that compute all routes can be expensive • Generate one route fast and alternative routes as needed? • Our solution: adapt compute all routes to compute only one route • Non-exhaustive: Stops when one witness is found. A witness that uses source tuples is preferred • Inference procedure: to deduce all consequences of a proven tuple and avoid recomputation of “branches” • Key step for polynomial time analysis • Completeness: If there is a route for Js, then our algorithm will produce a route for Js
Related work • Commercial data exchange systems • e.g., Altova MapForce, Stylus Studio • Use “lower-level” languages (e.g., XSLT, XQuery) to specify the exchange • Debugging is done at this low level • Source tuple centric • Data viewer [YMHF01] • Constructs an “example” source instance illustrative for the behavior of the schema mapping • Complementary to our approach • Works only for relational schema mappings
Related work • Computing routes for target data is related to computing provenance (aka lineage) of data
Empirical Evaluation • Implementation: on top of the Clio data exchange system from IBM Almaden Research Center • Scalable: push computation to the database • Handles relational and XML schema mappings [PVMHF02] • Testbed: • Created relational and XML schema mappings based on the TPCH schema • Created schema mappings based on Mondial, DBLP and Amalgam schemas • Methodology - measured the influence of: • The sizes of I, J and Js • The complexity of st[t • i.e., the number of tgds and the number of atoms in each tgd • Setup: P4 2.8GHz, 2Gb RAM, 256MB DB2 buffer pool • Our regret: No benchmark to base our comparisons

Experimental results with Mondial, DBLP and Amalgam • Two DBLP schemas and datasets, both XML: • DBLP1, DBLP2 • First relational schema from Amalgam test suite • Two Mondial schemas and datasets: • one relational (Mondial1), the other XML (Mondial2) • Designed st and used the foreign key constraints as t
Experimental results with Mondial, DBLP and Amalgam • Compute one route: under 3 seconds for 1-10 randomly selected tuples • Compute all routes: can take much longer • 18 seconds to construct the route forest for 10 selected tuples in the target instance of Mondial • Compute one route took under 1 second
Conclusions • Debugging schema mappings with routes • Complete, polynomial time algorithms for computing routes • Extension for routes for selected source data • Routes have declarative semantics, based on the logical satisfaction of tgds • What we don’t do: illustrate data merging • Future work: • Illustrate grouping semantics for nested schema mappings • Adapt target instance to changes in the schema mapping and data sources
