In this approach, adding new dependencies soon led to a combinatorial nightmare. To solve this problem in Python, we developed a simple rule base which acts like a Python dictionary. It contains a data cache and a mapping from property name to prediction function. If a requested property name (the dictionary key) is in the cache, we reuse it. Otherwise, we find the assoc...

Different aspects of the schema were represented in different ways in different files. We tried to simplify the mess using C++ macros. This worked to a degree, but was still difficult to manage. The schema representation was hampered by the simplistic nature of C++ macros, and the possibilities for expansion were extremely limi...
