Integration of Heterogeneous Databases Without Common Domains Using Queries Based on Textual Similarity

Summary: Rejects global-domain normalization; integrates heterogeneous databases via textual-similarity WHIRL. Efficient WHIRL; experiments show fast inference, competitive with hand-coded normalization, and outperforms exact matching under a plausible global domain. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
