For usability improvements and migration support, it would be great to be able to import a VDB into a workspace, extract the models from the VDB into a new project (along with the VDB) and allow the user to begin to start editing the models as if they were new.

Secondary thoughts:

• Should Translator Override properties be extractable from a VDB so users can apply them to multiple VDB's?
• Then should the Translator Overrides action and editor be available in Teiid Designer outside the VDB Editor??
• Should anything be done with Data Roles so they are transferable between VDB's?
• Do we need a Clone VDB action? which would clone the resources, vdb.xml contents, but re-index the files?
• How do we handle extracting/importing models from VDB that already exist in the workspace?
  < First cut would maybe prevent user from extracting any models if any model conflicts exist.
