Abstract
Document schemas for a first document from a first data source and a second document from a second source are identified. The document schema includes a set of tags and data elements corresponding to the set of tags. Based on the identified document schema, the set of tags of the first document to the set of tags of the second document are mapped. Portion of the first document is formatted based on the mapped set of tags. The formatted portion of the first document is positioned parallel to corresponding portion of the second document. The formatted first document and the second document are merged then displayed on the computer device.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying a first document schema for a first document from a first data source;
- identifying a second document schema for a second document schema from a second data source, each of the document schema includes a set of tags and data elements corresponding to the set of tags;
- mapping the set of tags of the first document to the set of tags of the second document based on the first and second document schemas to generate a mapped set of tags;
- formatting a portion of the first document based on the mapped set of tags, the formatted portion of the first document is visually positioned aligned with a corresponding portion of the second document;
- and
- merging the formatted first document and the second document.
A computer hardware system, comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to perform:
- identifying a first document schema for a first document from a first data source;
- identifying a second document schema for a second document schema from a second data source, each of the document schema includes a set of tags and data elements corresponding to the set of tags;
- mapping the set of tags of the first document to the set of tags of the second document based on the first and second document schemas to generate a mapped set of tags;
- formatting a portion of the first document based on the mapped set of tags, the formatted portion of the first document is visually positioned aligned with a corresponding portion of the second document;
- and
- merging the formatted first document and the second document.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having stored therein program instructions,
- the program instructions, which when executed by a computer hardware system, cause the computer hardware system to perform:
- identifying a first document schema for a first document from a first data source;
- identifying a second document schema for a second document schema from a second data source, each of the document schema includes a set of tags and data elements corresponding to the set of tags;
- mapping the set of tags of the first document to the set of tags of the second document based on the first and second document schemas to generate a mapped set of tags;
- formatting a portion of the first document based on the mapped set of tags, the formatted portion of the first document is visually positioned aligned with a corresponding portion of the second document;
- and
- merging the formatted first document and the second document.
