Nested Mappings: Schema Mapping Reloaded

Summary: Introduces nested, correlated schema mappings that preserve source relationships and reduce redundancy in exchanged nested data. Declarative grouping/merging semantics plus scalable automatic mapping and query generation improve target quality and execution cost. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
