How to merge two existing guidelines into a new set of schemas. (1) A developer uses the JSON Schema Documenter to explore the different guidelines, MIACME and MIACA. (2) JSON ScheeLD relies on the context files to compare the two given models and outputs a file readable by the JSON Compare Viewer. This allows the developer to see which fields are semantically identical. (3) JSON ScheeLD pulls the fields from the MIACME model and injects them into the MIACA if they are missing and creates a whole new set of schemas and context files. Directionality is important: merging MIACME into MIACA will not produce the same result as merging MIACA into MIACME. (4) After the merge is complete, the developer can go back to step 2 and compare the new model with the old one to ensure quality control.
