Capturing both Types and Constraints in Data Integration

Summary: Proposes AIG, a DTD extension with semantic inherited/synthesized attributes and parameterized SQL for multi-source XML. Adds parallel constraint checking and optimization, merging queries across sources to support constraint-driven document construction. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
