MERGING STRUCTURED XMLFILES

Abstract

The paper uses the approach of 3-way merging structured, take a XML file as a based file with entries are three XML files TB, T1 and T2 – TB is the based file,T1 and T2 are branches which conclude the diffrencies compared with TB or changes from TB. The merging process almost bases on the structure matches between branched files through the based file. To improve the accuracy of the matching process, the paper proposes an add on methode in order to sharpen it by using Wordnet to the tag of the XML tree. Beside, the recommendation approach of this paper allows to detect and to solve conflicts that happen during merging process in some levels. The solution for solving these conflicts is the key of successful merging.
