Database transformations is a critical task that occurs in many
different domains. Schema evolution is one important class of problems
for database transformations. In our work, we use existing technology
and standards (ODMG, OQL, basic schema evolution primitives) to bring
flexibility, extensibility and re-usability to current schema
evolution systems, thus allowing the users to conveniently specify any
customized transformation of their choice. We also investigate the
re-usabilty of our framework to other applications beyond schema
evolution such as web re-structuring.
