Abstract
Techniques and constructs that improve annotating target columns of a target database by performing automated annotation of the target columns using sources. The techniques include calculating a similarity score between a target column and columns extracted from a table that is included in a source. The similarity score is calculated based at least in part on a similarity between a value in the target column of the target database and a column value of the extracted column from the table and on a similarity between an identity of the target column of the target database and column identities of the extracted columns from the table. In some examples, the techniques calculate similarity scores for one or more extracted columns and annotate the target column based on the similarity scores.
