Instead of building a single global model, we propose to organize the different source models as a network of models which provides a global view of the system through a virtual global model. The matching of these models is done in a shared model of correspondences. We focus in this study on the elaboration of the model of correspondences, through a transformation called "refine" . The approach is illustrated by a representative use case (a Bug Tracking System) and supported by a modeling tool called HMS (Heterogeneous Matching Suite). {\textcopyright} 2014 Academic Journals Inc.}, doi = {10.3923/jse.2014.132.151}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84899886336\&doi=10.3923\%2fjse.2014.132.151\&partnerID=40\&md5=2803984c51fbf1cde93310f1e0f01e33}, author = {Hamlaoui, M.E.a b and Ebersold, S.a and Anwar, A.c and Coulette, B.a and Nassar, M.b} }
