Managing Semantic Heterogeneity in Databases : A Theoretical Perspective

Summary: Surveys theoretical approaches to semantic heterogeneity—architectures and schema information-capacity comparisons for relating disparate databases. Treats read-only (virtual/materialized) and read-write integrated views, workflows, and metadata methods for discovering and managing schema relationships. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
