Model matching for trace link generation

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for improving keyword searches, the operations comprising:

• receiving a source model and a target model, the source model including one or more source elements and the target model including one or more target elements, the source model and the target model each being stored in computer-readable memory;
• processing the source model and the target model based on two or more matching algorithms, the processing including:
• calculating, for each matching algorithm, a similarity value for each combination of the source element and the target element, and
• generating, for each matching algorithm, a similarity value matrix based on the similarity values associated with the matching algorithm;
• generating a similarity value cube based on the similarity value matrix associated with each matching algorithm;
• and
• identifying matching elements between the source model and the target model based on the similarity value cube.
