Well, that's how I read his example in http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/entity-resolution/200011/msg00047.html in the context of my message to which he was responding. That is, I understood his message at the above quoted URL to be showing a source document for which a catalog analogous to that in my example was assumed--one that mapped the various "lefthand sides" found in the source document into *different* right hand sides. Perhaps Norm can clarify. paul
