However, the execution of mappings requires a formalization based on the extensional semanticsof models. This problem is aggravated if multiple metamodels are involved. In this paper we present extensional mappings,that are based on second order tuple generating dependencies, between models in our Generic Role-based Metamodel GeRoMe. By using a generic metamodel, our mappings support data translation between heterogeneous metamodels. Our mapping representationprovides grouping functionalities that allow for complete restructuring of data, which is necessary for handling nested datastructures such as XML and object oriented models. Furthermore, we present an algorithm for mapping composition and optimizationof the composition result. To verify the genericness, correctness, and composability of our approach we implemented a datatranslation tool and mapping export for several data manipulation languages.
