Abstract

A method of semantic-aware record matching includes receiving source and target string record specifications associated with a source string record and a target string record, receiving semantic knowledge referring to tokens of the source string record and target string record, creating a first set of tokens for the source string record and a second set of tokens for the target string record based on the semantic knowledge, assigning a similarity score to the source string record and the target string record based on a semantic relationship between the first set of tokens and the second set of tokens, and matching the source string record and the target string record based on the similarity score.
