A computer-implemented mechanism for comparing information sets is described. The mechanism may include a comparison system that concentrates on the schema in each information set. An alternative embodiment includes an equality comparison mechanism that performs sets of initial comparisons to determine whether the information sets are inherently different and not needing a detailed comparison using the schema-centric comparison technique.
