A model for compound type changes encountered in schema evolution

``A model for compound type changes encountered in schema evolution'' by Barbara Staudt Lerner. ACM Transactions on Database Systems, vol. 25, no. 1, 2000, pp. 83-127.
Annotation: Excellent related work on schema evolution systems. Focus is on identifying (inferring) steps in schema evolution from before and after definitions (i.e., does an intelligent diff to infer refactorings). Also generates derivation functions to initialize new state from old values (i.e., state transform functions).
