## Implementation Plan

### Priority 1: Enhanced Error Handling & Logging ⭐⭐⭐

#### What to Build
```python
class MatchingLogger:
    """Structured logging for the matching process."""
    
    def log_matcher_attempt(self, matcher_name, column, result)
    def log_confidence_boost(self, original, boosted, reason)
    def log_match_rejected(self, matcher_name, column, reason)
    def log_pipeline_stats(self, stats)
    def generate_matching_report(self)
```

#### Benefits
- Debug matching issues quickly
- Understand why certain matches succeeded/failed
- Better visibility into the matching process

---

### Priority 2: Confidence Calibration ⭐⭐⭐

#### What to Build
```python
class ConfidenceCalibrator:
    """Dynamically calibrate confidence scores based on historical accuracy."""
    
    def calibrate_score(
        self,
        base_confidence: float,
        matcher_name: str,
        match_type: MatchType
    ) -> float:
        """Adjust confidence based on matcher's historical accuracy."""
        
        # Get matcher performance from history
        stats = history.get_matcher_performance(matcher_name)
        
        if stats and stats['total_matches'] > 10:
            # Adjust based on success rate
            success_rate = stats['success_rate']
            
            if success_rate > 0.9:
                # Very reliable matcher, boost confidence
                return min(base_confidence * 1.1, 1.0)
            elif success_rate < 0.7:
                # Less reliable, reduce confidence
                return base_confidence * 0.9
        
        return base_confidence
```

#### Benefits
- More accurate confidence scores
- System learns which matchers are most reliable
- Better ranking of match suggestions

---

### Priority 3: Rich Alignment Reports ⭐⭐

#### What to Build
```python
class EnhancedAlignmentReport:
    """Generate rich, actionable alignment reports."""
    
    def generate_html_report(self, output_path: str)
    def generate_interactive_report(self)  # Web-based
    def suggest_ontology_improvements(self)
    def identify_patterns(self)
    def export_to_json(self)
```

#### Features
- **Visual confidence heatmap** - See mapping quality at a glance
- **Matcher performance chart** - Which matchers worked best
- **Suggested improvements** - Missing SKOS labels, properties
- **Pattern detection** - Common column patterns found

---

### Priority 4: Performance Optimization ⭐⭐

#### Optimizations
1. **Batch embedding generation** - Generate all embeddings at once
2. **Better caching** - Cache computed similarities
3. **Lazy loading** - Only load matchers when needed
4. **Parallel matching** - Match multiple columns in parallel

```python
class OptimizedSemanticMatcher:
    """Optimized semantic matcher with batch processing."""
    
    def batch_embed_all(
        self,
        columns: List[DataFieldAnalysis],
        properties: List[OntologyProperty]
    ):
        """Pre-compute all embeddings in one batch."""
        # Much faster than one-by-one
```

---

### Priority 5: CLI Improvements ⭐

#### Enhancements
1. **Progress bars** - Show matching progress
2. **Verbose mode** - Detailed output with `--verbose`
3. **Dry run mode** - Preview without saving
4. **Validation mode** - Check mapping quality
5. **Better help text** - More examples

```bash
# Enhanced CLI
rdfmap generate \
  --ontology ontology.ttl \
  --data data.csv \
  --output mapping.yaml \
  --verbose \
  --show-alternatives 3 \
  --confidence-threshold 0.7 \
  --validate
```

## Quick Wins (Start Here)

### 1. Add Verbose Logging (30 min)
```python
import logging

logger = logging.getLogger('rdfmap.generator')

# In matcher pipeline
logger.info(f"Trying {matcher.name()} for column '{column.name}'")
logger.debug(f"  Available properties: {len(properties)}")

if result:
    logger.info(f"  ✓ Match found: {result.property.label} ({result.confidence:.2f})")
else:
    logger.debug(f"  ✗ No match")
```

### 2. Calibrate Confidence (1 hour)
```python
# In MatcherPipeline.match()
result = matcher.match(column, properties, context)

if result:
    # Calibrate confidence based on history
    calibrated = calibrator.calibrate_score(
        result.confidence,
        matcher.name(),
        result.match_type
    )
    result.confidence = calibrated
```

### 3. Better Error Messages (30 min)
```python
# Before
raise ValueError("No match found")

# After
raise ValueError(
    f"No match found for column '{column.name}'. "
    f"Tried {len(matchers)} matchers with {len(properties)} properties. "
    f"Consider: 1) Adding SKOS labels, 2) Lowering threshold, 3) Checking ontology."
)
```
