Thanks. I guess I would formulate the "common ground" as
entailing an identity transformation, and say the problem is verifying
(automatically) that the identity is the correct transformation. (02)
The alternative is component reuse - though I'm not sure if
ontologies give an advantage over data model component reuse. (03)
