Abstract

The paper explores heuristic approaches to matching geospatial databases, focusing on the Ukrainian context. Central methods include lexical and semantic analysis, hierarchical tree-based representations of geographic structures, and decision-making on graphs. The proposed framework emphasizes scalability and computational efficiency, providing a foundation for integrating more complex models in future research.
