[Data-modeling] Type equivalent topics for many types

[Shawn Simister]

Thanks Praveen. I built the list by manually using the List Import Tool. 
Manual inspection is really the only way to handle this type of 
reconciliation where topics like "Asset" can have more than one meaning. 
The List Import Tool really helped to streamline the whole 
reconciliation process but I'd appreciate if there was an feature to 
export the results of an import session at the end.
