Merging Models Based on Given Correspondences

Summary: Merges two heterogeneous models (schemas, interfaces, UML, ontologies, and message formats) given correspondences. Proposes merge requirements and a unifying algorithm that subsumes prior approaches, advancing metadata integration tasks like view mediation and ontology merging.
