I've been working on a (related?) similar effort to map HL7 RIM XML documents to an ontology (so I'm very interested in this space). With regards to your question, merging non-lean graphs (is that the proper term?) is mostly a matter of using terms that facilitate equivalence (functional properties - specifically), otherwise it becomes a much more difficult prospect.
