RE: Comments on Section 3

Hello Nick,

RE: Issue 067

[ 067. ]
Summary: Need to distinguish types of merging
Raised By: Nick Matsakis
Status: open
Description: 

Section 3.2.5 discusses merging.  I think it is important to distinguish
the two subproblems in merging: identifying records to be merged and the
merging the components themselves. This section talks largely about the
second component, which is very similar to the mapping problems outlined
in 3.2.4. It might be good to give some balance to the first part of the
the problem as well.  In particular, you may wish to discuss the
possibilities of automatically detecting records to be merged upon
ingestion.


I've added the point you make about the two problems. Please can you
suggest some text that discusses the possibilities of automatically
detecting records to be merged upon ingestion?
