Schema Mappings, Data Exchange, and Metadata Management

Summary: Survey of schema mappings between relational schemas focusing on data exchange and metadata management, covering formal foundations, specification languages, algorithmic techniques, and practical trade-offs. Highlights open problems and future directions (composition, inversion, scalable enforcement). (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
