1. A computer based method comprising:

  • receiving an input schema S;

    receiving two instances, T1 and T2, each of which conforms to said input schema, S;

    computing a merged instance of T1 and T2, T1custom-characterT2, as an instance that also conforms to S such that every path in T1 or T2 can be found in T1custom-characterT2, every path in T1custom-characterT2 can be found in T1 or T2, and a temporal context associated with an element in any path in T1custom-characterT2 is a result of adjusting temporal contexts of corresponding elements in T1 and/or T2 under the same path according to a given adjustment policy, said given adjustment policy designed to resolve time conflicts between data records having time conflicts, where said merged instance T1custom-characterT2 provides an integrated view of instances T1 and T2 by fusing identical elements in instances T1 and/or T2 together and providing an interpretation of their corresponding temporal contexts according to said given adjust policy; and

    outputting said merged instance T1custom-characterT2.
