An auxiliary data storage system may be scanned to identify second tabular data stored in the auxiliary data storage system. A second synopses may be obtained, in which the synopses correspond to the second columns of second tabular data. The synopsis may be computed for each second column of the second columns, according to a numeric representation of contents of cells of said each second column. The computed synopsis may include a vector of m descriptors. The two sets of one or more descriptors may be compared. A subset of the descriptors of the second synopses may be compared with corresponding descriptors of the first synopses, to identify potential matches between the second tabular data and the corpus of first tabular data.
