A common task in many database applications is the migration of legacy data from multiple sources into a new one. This requires identifying semantically related elements of the source and target systems and the creation of mapping expressions to transform instances of those elements from the source format to the target format. Currently, data migration is typically done manually, a tedious and timeconsuming process, which is difficult to scale to a high number of data sources. In this paper, we describe QuickMig, a new semi-automatic approach to determining semantic correspondences between schema elements for data migration applications. QuickMig advances the state of the art with a set of new techniques exploiting sample instances, domain ontologies, and reuse of existing mappings to detect not only element correspondences but also their mapping expressions. QuickMig further includes new mechanisms to effectively incorporate domain knowledge of users into the matching process. The results from a comprehensive evaluation using real-world schemas and data indicate the high quality and practicability of the overall approach.

We used data Tabapuã the Brazilian Northeast, collected from 1970, from the control of weight development Brazilian Association of Zebu Breeders (ABCZ) with information concerning the weights adjusted to 205, 365 and 550 days of age. The Box-Cox and Blom scores transformations were used in an attempt to correct the heterogeneity of variances for the factors of production regions, ages and sex. Bartlett's test was applied before and after the transformation of the data to see if there was a reduction of heterogeneity of phenotypic variances. The Blom scores transformation was effective in reducing the coefficients of skewness and kurtosis and was more appropriate than the Box-Cox transformation to correct the phenotypic heterogeneity of variance between production regions, ages and sex, since produced significantly more favorable results. / O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a eficiência das transformações de Box- Cox e escores de Blom na correção da heterogeneidade de variâncias fenotípicas dos pesos ajustados de bovinos da raça Tabapuã do Nordeste brasileiro para os fatores regiões de produção, idades e sexos. Foram utilizados dados da raça Tabapuã do Nordeste brasileiro, coletados a partir de 1970, provenientes do controle de desenvolvimento ponderal da Associação Brasileira de Criadores de Zebuíno (ABCZ) com informações relativas a pesos ajustados para 205, 365 e 550 dias de idade. As transformações em escores de Blom e Box-Cox foram utilizadas na tentativa de corrigir a heterogeneidade de variâncias para os fatores regiões de produção, idades e sexos. O teste de Bartlett foi aplicado antes e após a transformação dos dados para verificar se houve redução da heterogeneidade de variâncias fenotípicas. A transformação em escores de Blom foi efetiva na redução dos coeficientes de assimetria e curtose e mostrou-se mais adequada do que a transformação de Box-Cox para correção da heterogeneidade de variâncias fenotípicas entre regiões de produção, idades e sexos, uma vez que apresentou um maior número de resultados favoráveis.
