Seminar WS06/07: Model Management
Model management aims at developing
technologies and mechanisms to support the integration, merging, evolution, and
matching of complex data models. This support is required for the
management of complex, integrated, distributed, heterogeneous information
systems. Basic concepts in model management are models, mappings and
operators. Models (e.g. an XML Schema, a schema of a relational
database, or an ontology in OWL) describe the structure of data. Mappings
represent relationships between elements from different models. Operators
are operations on models and mappings (e.g. merging & matching of
models, composition of mapping).
In this seminar, recent research on Model Management will be discussed.
We will also discuss how Model Management technologies have been already
integrated in products.
