Matching micro-data

In this paper, we discuss the problem of micro-data matching with a twofold goal. On one side, we propose a reference meta-model for several kinds of micro-data abstracting their featuring properties, to enable matching across heterogeneous micro-data from semantic and social webs. On the other side, we identify five categories of requirements and implications on expected matching techniques and styles, to enable semantic management, classification, and aggregation of micro-data.
