The Role of Schema Matching in Large Enterprises
Summary: Advocates using schema matching in large enterprises as decision-support for human planners—beyond its traditional role as a precursor to mapping/code generation—and catalogs practical application areas. Presents a customer-case evaluation exposing strengths and failure modes at industrial scale and proposes a new research agenda. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
