ISO/IEC 11179 represents an MDR as a metamodel that is an object model. However, it is difficult to develop an MDR based on ISO/IEC 11179 because the standard has no clear criteria to transform the metamodel into a database. In this paper, we suggest the design of an MDR data model that is based on object-relational transformation methodology (ORTM) for the MDR implementation. Hence, we classify the transformation methods of ORTM according to the corresponding relationships. After classification, we propose modeling rules by defining the standard use of the transformation. This paper builds the relational database tables as an implementation result of an MDR data model. Through experiments and evaluation, we verify the proposed modeling rules and evaluate the suitability of the created table structures. As the result, the proposed method shows that the table structures preserve classes and relationships of the standard metamodel well." }
