To my needs these examples do not solve the challenge of understanding that M0760 and MENSA-FL (100% real data names) are actually synonyms.
"Ask the expert" is not a valid response. Expert not available. I'm on my own.
#1 - nice that they match, but it seems to depend on both items containing your email. I seriously doubt I'm going to find someone's email embedded in a data structure.

To repeat: in the context of legacy systems (definition of a legacy system is a system that works, produces reasonably predictable results & people depend on... regardless if it's a day old or 40+ years old), is there a SW mechanism that helps analysts/programmers understand what the labels in these systems mean?
A system written in R & Hadoop (assuming it's in production) is just as legacy as something written in Jovial.
