Discovering Linkage Points over Web Data

Summary: Replaces schema matching with instance-based discovery of linkage points across heterogeneous, schema-less Web data. Combines lexical analyzers, similarity functions, and search algorithms to exploit even semantically mismatched attributes for entity alignment. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
