Object Fusion in Mediator Systems

Summary: Non-procedural, succinct fusion primitives for mediators using semantic IDs assigned on import to drive object merges and exports. Targets unstructured/semi-structured sources, resolves redundancies and inconsistencies by privileging reliable sources, and presents optimization techniques to cut fusion costs.
