SPIDER: a Schema mapPIng DEbuggeR

Summary: SPIDER is a prototype debugging tool for schema mappings, built atop Clio, that visualizes mappings via a route engine. It supports stepwise route exploration and breakpoints, guided input, and target-state tracking to diagnose source–target mappings. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
