Determining the Relative Accuracy of Attributes

Summary: Proposes a chase-based model with accuracy rules to determine when one tuple's A value is more accurate than another for the same entity. Analyzes termination, confluence, and a unique target te; offers a user-interactive framework and algorithms to compute te or top-k candidates, with experimental validation.
