Preference-aware Integration of Temporal Data

Summary: PRAWN is a preference-aware union operator for entity integration that resolves conflicts across multiple temporal dimensions using user-specified rules. It is order-independent, supports polynomial-delay enumeration of residual interpretations, and enables standard temporal queries over the integrated repository.
