MDM: a Multiple-Data-Model Tool for the Management of Heterogeneous Database Schemes

Summary: MDM unifies heterogeneous data models with a Model Manager and Schema Manager, enabling model engineers to define diverse models via metaconstructs. Translations across models are derived at definition time by composing elementary transformations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
