Clio: A Semi-Automatic Tool For Schema Mapping

Summary: Clio is a semi-automatic tool for generating schema mappings from legacy sources to a fixed target schema. It uses a mapping-by-example paradigm with value correspondences that show how target values derive from source attributes, enabling semi-automatic mapping discovery for data integration.
