The translation of information between heterogeneous rep-
resentations is a long standing issue. With the large spreading of cooper-
ative applications fostered by the advent of the Internet the problem has
gained more and more attention but there are still few and partial solu-
tions. In general, given an information source, different translations can
be defined for the same target model. In this work, we first identify gen-
eral properties that “good” translations should fulfill. We then propose
novel techniques for the automatic generation of model translations. A

In this paper, we illustrate a preliminary approach to the
translation of Web data between heterogeneous formats. This work fits
into a larger pro ject whose aim is the development of a tool for the man-
agement of data described according to a large variety of formats used on
the Web and the (semi)automatic translation of schemes and instances
from one model to another. Data translations operate over XML repre-
sentations of instances and rely on a uniform representation of models
that we call metamodel. The metamodel shows structural diversities and
