Neural network technology to support view integration
The most difficult and time consuming activity to perform during view integration is to find correspondences between different view...
Database schema transformation and optimization
An application structure is best modeled first as a conceptual schema, and then mapped to an internal schema for...
Mapping an extended entity-relationship schema into a schema of complex objects
With the advent of object-oriented database systems, there is an urgent need to define a methodology for mapping a...
Normative language approach a framework for understanding
The development of information systems often presents communication problems between developers and users, because the languages used by both...
Assertion of consistency within a complex object database using a relationship construct
We define semantic overlapping as the description of different points of view on the same application context in different...
Improving quality in conceptual modelling by the use of schema transformations
The quality of the results produced in the early phases of systems development is a major factor in determining...
A cryptographic mechanism for object-instance-based authorization in object-oriented database systems
In this paper a mechanism for access control at the instance level of a class in object-oriented databases is...
An approach to maintaining optimized relational representations of entity-relationship schemas
This paper presents a redesign method for maintaining optimized relational representations of entity-relationship schemas. This method is based on...
Transforming conceptual models to object-oriented database designs: Practicalities, properties, and peculiarities
More work is needed on devising practical, but theoretically well-founded procedures for doing object-oriented database (OODB) design. Besides being...
Representing partial spatial information in databases
In this paper we present a spatial data model which facilitates the representation of and reasoning with various forms...
