Reconciling Schemas of Disparate Data Sources: A Machine-Learning Approach

Summary: Introduces LSD, a semi-automatic data integration system that learns semantic mappings to a schema from seed mappings. It combines multiple learners—using schema, data, domain constraints, and XML structure—with a meta-learner to map sources. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
