Intelligent Integration of Information

Summary: Proposes a 3-layer mediated architecture for intelligent information from heterogeneous sources. Argues information emerges via integration and schema matching; JOINs bottleneck across sources, underscoring need for a consensual information system. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
