Isn it more then just translating between data structures, what about where the rubber meets the road and column names are different for the same data?
The translation layer automatically translates between data types. Data requests are made via their context which is a universal view of the data. For example: You could define this view using any kind of data structure, you could even make up your own kind of data types. The system relates the semantics of data typing to a brand and implementation of a specific database system. Known translation are automatically applied while the data is in route.
