1. A method of updating a synonym dictionary containing a set of synonym pairs, each of said synonym pairs containing a schema element of a first schema and another schema element of a second schema indicating a mapping between the two schema elements, said method comprising:
receiving data representing a first schema element in said first schema is mapped to a second schema element in said second schema;
checking whether a program logic would auto-map said first schema element to said second schema element;
adding said first schema element and said second schema element as an additional synonym pair to said synonym dictionary if said program logic would not auto-map said first schema element to said second schema element and not adding said additional synonym pair otherwise; and
using said synonym dictionary with said added additional pair to map elements of new schema pairs.
