Statistical Schema Matching across Web Query Interfaces

Summary: Statistical schema matching (MGS) discovers a hidden generative schema to align many input schemas holistically, beyond pairwise matches. MGS_sd specializes in synonym discovery; tested on hundreds of Web sources across four domains, showing robust accuracy amid deep-Web vocabulary convergence.
