Abstract

This paper describes how structural transformation can be applied to the problem of translating schemas expressed in one data model into equivalent schemas expressed in another data model. We explain our approach to the problem which involves translating a schema in the source data model into a set of facts in a knowledge base and from there into a schema in the target data model. We present an example transformation in detail and outline how one can analyze the information capacity preserving properties of the transformation.
