AB  - Owing to the fast growing markets and the rapid evolution of the existing enterprises today different parties use different database schemas to develop their solutions for the same domain, which leads to what, is known as semantic heterogeneity. The importance of database systems in today’s business world together with the fact that today business enterprises employ multiple coexisting information systems makes integration of these heterogeneous systems crucial for the growth and development of these enterprises. In this paper, we try to understand what semantic heterogeneity means and try to overview various classifications that have been proposed for classifying semantic heterogeneity.
