Concepts does not currently define the term merge.  If you would like to use "merge" (which I agree would make more sense in this context), then we should formally define what a merge looks like or reference where it is defined.

I see that "merge" is defined in section 3 of Semantics and equated to a union:
[[
"A **union or merge** may be represented by a new RDF source, or may be thought of as a conceptual entity when describing RDF processing."
]]
(emphasis mine)

So, I propose to revert the word "union" back to "merge" as Antoine suggested and add a reference to section 3 of Semantics.  Is that acceptable to everyone?

Regards,
Dave
