Managing Semantic Heterogeneity with Production Rules and Persistent Queues

Summary: Proposes rules plus persistent queues to enforce consistency across semantically heterogeneous multidatabase environments. Automatically derives rules from existence and value dependencies; queues monitor cross-database constraints asynchronously. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
