LLM-Matcher: A Name-Based Schema Matching Tool using Large Language Models

Summary: LLM-Matcher uses LLMs for name-only schema matching, yielding an interactive, interpretable initial mapping without instance data. Domain-aware feedback refines mappings to correct misconceptions, with experiments validating effectiveness in restricted settings. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
