My reading of the situation is a bit different. Concerning the
comments on the requirements ID which I have send to this list, I must
admit that I did not follow up on your reply, even though there are
points where we may not have the same opinion or where we speak
different languages. I guess we could have lengthy discussions about
most of the items - but I am not sure this is useful at this point in
time. (It is also rather inefficient to do this via email regarding
the time everyone involved has to spend.)

I personally think that a clean room information model without any
automated algorithmic mappings to real-world data models makes the
investment into the development of an information model not well
justified. In other words: Automated algorithmic mappings to
real-world data models are in my view a key requirement.

Not everyone may agree that this as a requirement...
