Semantic Harmony: A Framework for Resolving Semantic Heterogeneity Among Data Sources

Sneha Dingre

Abstract: Semantic heterogeneity remains a persistent challenge in data integration efforts, hindering interoperability and knowledge discovery across disparate data sources. In response to this challenge, this research paper presents a novel framework, called Semantic Harmony, designed to address semantic heterogeneity systematically. The framework encompasses semantic mapping, data profiling, normalization, schema integration, semantic mediation, metadata management, and governance practices, providing a holistic approach to achieving semantic coherence among heterogeneous data sources. Through a detailed exploration of each component and practical examples, this paper demonstrates the effectiveness and applicability of the Semantic Harmony framework in facilitating seamless data integration and interoperability.

Keywords: Semantic heterogeneity, Data integration, Semantic mapping, Schema integration, Metadata management, Semantic mediation, Governance
