Incremental Schema Matching

Summary: Incremental, interactive schema matching presents candidate correspondences for a selected element and lets users navigate options. Ranking fuses lexical similarity, structural cues, element types, and historical actions to scale to large schemas; integrated with a BizTalk Mapper prototype to minimize overload.
