ResumoAbstract The process of integrating data in a hierarchical structure is usually based on algorithms designed for one specific task; for example, for eXtendable Markup Language (XML) schema integration. In this article, a more general approach for integration of data in a hierarchical structure is proposed using a generalized tree structure called a complex tree. For this aim we define a set of criteria for integration. These criteria are completeness, precision, and optimality. A simple algorithm based on these criteria is presented and the advantages of the approach are discussed.
