GeRoMeSuite: A System for Holistic Generic Model Management

Manipulation of models and mappings is a common task in the design and development of information systems. Research in Model Management aims at supporting these tasks by providing a set of operators to manipulate models and mappings. As a framework, GeRoMeSuite provides an environment to simplify the implementation of model management operators. GeRoMeSuite is based on the generic role based metamodel GeRoMe, which represents models from different modeling languages (such as XML Schema, OWL, SQL) in a generic way. Thereby, the management of models in a polymorphic fashion is enabled, i.e. the same operator implementations are used regardless of the original modeling language of the schemas. In addition to providing a framework for model management, GeRoMeSuite implements several fundamental operators such as Match, Merge, and Compose.
