Sep 1, 2010 at 12:08 comment added Helge If one considers the completely integrable case, then I believe the things called 'symmetry' can be reduced to simple transformations of the spectrum of the underlying Lax operator $L$. For example the existence of a soliton then corresponds to the existence of an eigenvalue of $L$. However, it is not clear to me from your question, if you are interested in this case, or the more 'pde' case discussed in Tao's article.
Sep 1, 2010 at 9:57 comment added José Figueroa-O'Farrill This is a good question. A quick comment (as I'm off to a meeting) is that you could start by googling Bäcklund transformations. Beware that the wiki page is not particularly interesting, though.
