Generic Model Management: A Database Infrastructure for Schema Manipulation Philip A. Bernstein   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Invited Talks Abstract This paper summarizes the model management approach to generic schema management. The goal is to raise the level of abstraction of data manipulation for programmers of design tools and other model-driven applications. We explain the main concepts of model management, report on some recent progress on model matching algorithms, and sketch a category-theoretic approach to a formal semantics for model management.
