Schema Matching Model of Build-Operate-Transfer Projects

This paper formulates a schema matching model to analyze the model selection problem arising from pattern recognize and schema matching between infrastructures and different type build-operate-transfer (BOT) project. Through systematical review, an analysis of relevant literature and cases analysis yielded significant factors that would have a certain impact on the feasibility of any BOT project. These factors were classified into three relative categories forming the structure of the suggested project schema matching model. This model presents a new approach to evaluate the relationships between decisions factors related to a project financing model. The proposed approach to project feasibility evaluation aims to increase the decision maker´s ability to determine the factors which make the greatest contribution to the financing model to the BOT project at hand.
