Creating Nested Mappings with Clio

Schema mappings play a central role in many data integration and data exchange scenarios. In those applications, users need to quickly and correctly specify how data represented in one format is converted into a different format. Clio (L. Popa et al., 2002) is a joint research project between IBM and the University of Toronto studying the creation, maintenance, and use of schema mappings. There have always been two goals in our work in Clio: 1) the automatic creation of logical assertions that capture the way one or more source schemas are mapped into a target schema, and 2) the generation of transformation queries or programs that transform a source data instance into a target data instance.
