Automating schema matching is challenging. Previous
approaches (e.g. [9, 5]) to automating schema matching
focus on computing direct element matches between two
schemas. Schemas, however, rarelymatc h directly. Thus, to
complete the task of schema matching, we must also compute
indirect element matches. In this paper, we present
a framework for generating direct as well as manyindirect
element matches between a source schema and a target
schema. Recognizing expected data values associated with
schema elements and applying schema-structure heuristics
