Mapping Adaptation under Evolving Schemas

Summary: ToMAS automates mapping adaptation under evolving schemas, detecting changes and generating rewritings for relational and XML schemas with choices and nested constraints. It preserves user mapping choices through evolution and offers a management tool. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
