Example of mapping between data models
Data modeling reflects the activity of an enterprise and is based on the business function history. Differences observed between models are generally cultural or linked to conventions that vary from one person to another and over time. In addition, in expressing a business function requirement, the modeler must take account of what already exists and reconcile different views of the same reality.
Mapping of data models simplifies alignment of this heterogeneous inheritance on a common semantic base.
