HePToX: Marrying XML and Heterogeneity in Your P2P Databases

Summary: HePToX is a P2P XML DB system that handles data heterogeneity without a global mediated schema. Peers join with lightweight visual annotations; mapping rules are auto-generated and query translation is efficient in a dynamic network. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
