Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Certain example embodiments relate to techniques for creating queries on model data of at least one data source (DS 1 , . . . , DS 3 ) in accordance with at least one data source specific format. A graphical query builder (QB) is configured to enable a user to graphically define a query including multiple building blocks in accordance with a data source independent format (MM). At least one adapter (A 1 , . . . , A 3 ) for the at least one data source (DS 1 , . . . , DS 3 ) is configured to translate the query in the data source independent format (MM) into at least one corresponding query in the data source specific format.
