In this paper, we describe the design and the results of a formal evaluation to assess the utility and generality of the TransFER model. The data suggests that automating the translation of queries across heterogeneous databases has significant potential, but that further work in the representation of temporal semantics and in the optimization of complex queries is required. inproceedings May,1995 A Formal Evaluation of the TransFER Model for Bridging Heterogeneous Databases Knowledge Systems, AI Laboratory 1995 Medical Computer Science.
