Summary:A method and apparatus for performing an informed semantic merge operation comprises selecting a source region in a document and a target region in the same or a different document. A bi-directionally coupled surface region is identified in the source region and a bi-directionally coupled surface region is identified in the target region. A first semantic object coupled to the surface region in the source region is identified and a second semantic object coupled to the surface region in the target region is identified. The subcomponents of the first semantic object are combined with the subcomponents of the second semantic object by merging.
