Abstract
Heterogeneity of schema and data in information integration complicates metadata management and query processing. We consider a mediator-based approach (MI) to information integration and propose a model theoretic approach to describe integration. In this model, we view the schema of the integration as a 3D space, and assume it is a complete lattice. The first dimension in the model specifies the concepts (e.g., entity sets, relations, classes, etc), the second dimension indicates the data model in which a concept is represented (e.g., relational, semi-structured, object-oriented, etc), and the third dimension gives the application domain. We also introduce three basic transformations, called X-transform, Y-transform, and Z-transform, to all of which we refer as primitive queries and show how user queries can be expressed using primitive queries. We show a typical architecture and illustrate usefulness of this model as it generalizes the mediator based information integration in which the global schema is basically the least upper bound of all the points in the 3D space.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
