Specification and Implementation of the Transmutation Concept

The concept of transmutation allows both representation of suppression of instances and creation of other instances by reusing possibly values of the suppressed instances. This paper presents the definition of this concept, the categories of the transmutations (mutations, disaggregations, merges, reflexive transmutations, opposite transmutations and cascade of transmutations), the end-user informal specification and the implementation of the transmutations with two solutions: a centralised solution and a distributed management solution.
