MaDI-Bench: An End-to-End Data Integration Benchmark

Data integration combines heterogeneous data sets into a single, coherent representation. Data integration involves a sequence of interdependent tasks including schema matching, value normalization, entity blocking, entity matching, and data fusion. Existing benchmarks either evaluate these steps in isolation or cover only incomplete versions of the data integration pipeline, omitting specific steps. The lack of public end-to-end data integration benchmarks hinders research on data integration methods that address the integration process as a whole. This paper fills this gap by introducing the
