Lessons Learned in Aligning Data and Model Evolution in Collaborative Information Systems - A Summary Report

Abstract

In this work, we present a hybrid approach for supporting data and model co-evolution, wherein either the data is aligned to the model or vice versa. We further elaborate on our experi- ences of applying the approach in projects for over five years. The issues faced in those projects and their respective solutions are formulated as lessons learned, which should guide the design and implementation of software systems supporting the co-evolution of data and its model.
