Abstract

Methods and systems for estimating impact between metadata descriptors are provided. A software program compares a first metadata descriptor with a second metadata descriptor and determines an impact rating between the metadata descriptors. The impact rating may be used to map metadata descriptors or as an indication of how a change in one database will effect other interrelated databases.
