Abstract: We use the Edit distance with Moves on words and trees and say that two regular (tree) languages are ε-close if every word (tree) of one language is ε-close to the other. A transducer model is introduced to compare tree languages (schemas) with different alphabets and attributes. Using the statistical embedding of Fischer et al. (Proceedings of 21st IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science, pp. 421–430, ), we show that Source-Consistency and Approximate Query Answering are testable on words and trees, i.e. can be approximately decided within ε by only looking at a constant fraction of the input.
