Data Sharing Through Query Translation in Autonomous Sources

Summary: Enables cross-source data sharing without imposing constraints on autonomous databases, using mapping tables to translate local queries into queries over related sources. Formalizes and computes sound versus complete translations, with an implementation and experiments. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
