Instance-based Schema Matching for Web Databases by Domain-specific Query Probing

Summary: Proposes a domain-specific model separating interface and result schemas in web DBs, with instance-based matching guided by query probing. Addresses intra-site extraction and inter-site integration with cross-validation, achieving strong precision and recall on web data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
