This article explores how large language models are reshaping schema matching by handling semantic ambiguity that traditional rule-based systems and embeddings often miss. It argues that the most effective architecture combines deterministic matching, embeddings for candidate retrieval, LLM reasoning for difficult cases, and rigorous validation to produce reliable data integration pipelines.
