Abstract:
To enable data intensive application including global information systems with heterogeneous models, the model mapping problem in which a source model is mapped to a target one should be addressed. Current work about mapping provides a finite set of mapping constructors available for writing mappings. In this case, adding a new concept in a meta-model describing mapped schemas could have the effect of building new types of mapping constructors. Thus, this paper attempts to provide a generic and systematic approach for modeling mapping constructors, so that new mapping constructors could be handled efficiently without requiring to rebuild completely the mapping repository system.
