MIDST: model independent schema and data translation

ABSTRACT

MIDST is a tool for the translation of schemas and databases from a model to another, in a framework that is flexible and extensible with respect to the family of models. The major novelties with respect to existing proposals consist in the generation of data-level translations and on the customizability of translations (at both schema and data level).
