===============================================
The paper has been revised substantially in several respects, most importantly:
- Now it clearly outlines that its scope is limited to the schema integration part of the process rather than the whole data integration problem, thus excluding the aspects like query processing which would have to be discussed otherwise.
- The user evaluation section was added to demonstrate the added value of the system from the perspective of practitioners.
In this way, I think, it covers most of my comments from the original review, either by resolving them or by delineating the intended scope. From my point of view, two remaining aspects are:
- Now, as the scope of the paper has been reduced, the question remains of whether the provided added value for the schema integration part only constitutes a sufficient contribution. In my view, the added user evaluation section supports the claim and provides sufficient evidence for this, but this is something which might be further considered.
- The paper could benefit from another proofreading to fix some writing style issues and typos.
Some typos I noticed:
p. 2, line 21: “Thus, allowing fast and on-demand data exploration.” -> incomplete sentence
p. 2, line 23: “As result” -> „As a result“
p.3, line 32: “There,” -> “There”
p. 9: lines 6-7: “Is candidate” -> “is a candidate”
p. 24, lines 28-29: “Thus, providing an intuitive user interface to use Nextia_DI functionalities.” -> incomplete sentence
