A database system (DBMS) that implements a particular data model allows us to create databases to different enterprises. In this paper we explain, why it is useful to create metamodels of data models. We illustrate the advantages with concrete examples based on the metamodels of two object-relational data model approaches. The results that are revealed through the examples are also novel contributions of our work.
