Hello I am looking for a algorithm for my senior project, but I am not sure what exactly the name of the problem I am trying to solve is thus it makes it somewhat hard to find an algorithm.
Here is the problem. There are multiple documents made by different users which contain notes on a certain topic. The user has his or her own master notes but I also want to take their notes and create an overall master note which contains the sum of all other peoples notes. Given that the master note is the source of truth I want to look other peoples notes and send them recommendations for items that the master note contains but they do not so they can include these difference in their own notes.
I've done some research and have found things life RAFT, eg leader election but I don't know if that solves my problem. I have also looked at recommendation algorithms but I don't know if that solves my problem as well. Maybe a combination of the two is what I need? I am looking for some help here to figure out what exactly the name of my problem is and some algorithms which help me solve it.
Thank you for all your help!

Sounds like a candidate to Map-Reduce-Merge, with modification in merge part of course.
