ToMAS: a system for adapting mappings while schemas evolve
Yannis Velegrakis, Renée J. Miller, Lucian Constantin Popa, John Mylopoulos · 2004
We demonstrate the Toronto Mapping Adaptation System (ToMAS), a tool for automatically detecting and adapting mappings that have become invalid or inconsistent due to changes in either data semantics or schemas. Due to its modular architecture and its stand-alone nature, ToMAS can easily be applied to numerous scenarios and can interoperate with many other tools. To the best of our knowledge, no other tool can correctly maintain the consistency of the mappings under schema changes at the level of complexity supported by ToMAS.
