Review Comment:
The paper has been significantly revised compared to the earlier version. Overall, I am satisfied with the changes, though I have a few minor concerns outlined below:
- Section 2 could optionally include a general overview of the surveyed research papers and their statistics. While this is mentioned later in Section 7, providing a high-level view earlier would give readers better context on the scope and activity within the research space. This would help situate the reader in the broader landscape of work the survey covers.
- Figure 2 is a nice addition. However, the text should provide a clearer explanation of the figure, particularly clarifying where the discussion refers to schema-level or instance-level aspects.
- Section 8 has been improved in terms of readability and the connections made between the different papers. A minor improvement here would be to introduce the timeline of the various works, so readers can better understand how the different approaches have evolved over time. Citing papers using author names and publication years could help implicitly convey this, but explicitly referencing the years where relevant would also add more value.
- Additionally, in Section 8, it might be helpful to indicate how many papers are covered in each subsection in the beginning, as this grouping is not directly inferable from the tables.
- Finally, it would be worthwhile to add a few lines in both the Introduction and Conclusion about who the target audience for this survey is, and how they might benefit from it.
