Abstract
Methods and a system are provided. A method includes automatically detecting, by an attribute structural variation detector, attribute structural variations in record schemas of a database lacking schema enforcement. The automatically detecting step includes encoding, by an encoder, nodes in the record schemas based on respective updated node labels to obtain a plurality of codes. The automatically detecting step further includes clustering, by a clusterer, the plurality of codes into one of a used category and an unused category. The used category and the unused category respectively consist of any of the plurality of codes used or unused to update a child label. The automatically detecting step also includes, when an intersection set formed from the used and unused categories has at least one member, retrieving, by the attribute structural variation detector, the at least one member as a structural variation between at least two of the record schemas.
