Finding Quality in Quantity: The Challenge of Discovering Valuable Sources for Integration

Summary: Automatic appraisal and selection of valuable heterogeneous public data sources for integration under quality and cost constraints. Proposes a source-management system that computes rigorous quality metrics and enables automated/interactive discovery to shorten the discover–appraise–evaluate loop.
