Abstract
\begin{abstract} In this paper we focus on a specific class of XML schema inference approaches -- so-called heuristic approaches. We describe a general framework of the inference algorithms and we show how its particular phases can be further enhanced and optimized to get more reasonable and realistic output.
The aim of the paper is (1) to provide a general overview of the heuristic inference process and existing approaches, (2) to sum up the improvements and optimizations we have proposed so far in our research group, and (3) to discuss possible extensions and open problems which need to be solved. Hence, it enables the reader to get acquainted with the field fast.
