Abstract
Rather than produce schema transformation methods for every different pair of models, it is proposed that a generic method should be developed using a method engineer friendly model called the Method View Model. Method concepts are organised in an is composed of hierarchy. A technique is presented that maps concepts of one hierarchy to those of the other. This technique produces feasible mappings, which can be presented to the method engineer for subsequent fine-tuning. The technique is illustrated for mapping between ER and Relational as well as between Relational and XML models respectively.
