    An extension of the Bird-Meertens formalism for program transformations to arbitrary data types is proposed. The approach is based on the notion of initial data types. The construction of structure-preserving maps is described and a promotion theorem for proving their equalities is derived. Examples include tree structures and infinite lists.
