Abstract

Data integration is a central problem in information systems. While the problem of data integration has been studied intensively from a technical point of view, less attention has been paid to user aspects of data integration. In this work, we present a user-centric approach to data integration that supports the user in finding and validating mapping rules between heterogeneous data sources. The results of our report underline that the user-centric approach leads to better integration results and is perceived as being more intuitive, especially for users with little or no technical knowledge.
