The problem of translating schemas and data form a model to another has been under the attention of database researchers for decades, but definitive solutions have not been reached. Motivation for the problem comes from the variety of sources available in modern systems, which often use different approaches (and data models) for the organization of information. The topic is discussed here by first setting the context with reference to the recent proposal for model management system, which considers an even wider set of requirements. Then, definitions are given for the problem of schema and data translation and for the related one concerning data exchange. Some side technical issues are then discussed: how schemas, models and mappings are described, and what is the relationship between source and target schemas in terms of information capacity. Finally, a specific proposal for data translation is discussed in some detail.
