Analyzing and Revising Data Integration Schemas to Improve Their Matchability

Summary: Introduces mSeer to improve mediated schemas for easier matching. Computes a matchability score, surfaces bottlenecks, and suggests semantically preserving edits (rename, format) to boost future matchability, validated on real domains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
