Variability modelling with feature models is one key technique to specify the problem space of Software Product Lines. To allow for the automatic derivation of a product instance based on a given variant configuration, a mapping between features in the problem space and their realisations in the solution space is required. In this paper we present an approach to define a mapping of features to model fragments specifying the feature realisations. We differenti-ate collaborative and aspectual features and show how these feature types are supported by a modelling-language independent infras-tructure which separates the mapping information and stores it in a dedicated mapping model
