Abstract

The invention is directed to a computer implemented system and apparatus for transforming objects in a first data model (source design objects) to objects in a second data model (target design objects) and synchronizing the two data models. The result of the transformation is that at least one of the target design objects is associated with a corresponding source design object. The system associates a unique identifier with each of the target design objects and source design objects, the unique identifier being associated with each map associated with each design object.
