AutoMed Model Management

Model Management (MM) is a way of raising the level of abstraction in metadata intensive application areas. The key idea behind Model Management is to develop a set of generic algorithmic operators that can be applied to a wide range of database management problems. Solutions to problems can then be specified at a high level of abstraction, by combining these operators into a concise script. The operators work on schemas and mappings between schemas, rather than individual schema elements. In this demonstration we present a new approach to the implementation of Model Management operators based on schema transformation that provides some important advantages over existing methods.
