ConQuer: A conceptual query language
Relational query languages such as SQL and QBE are less than ideal for end user queries since they require...
Using structural recursion as query mechanism for data models with references
Despite the fact that nearly all important data models include a concept for (explicit) references or referencial integrity, a...
A modular design strategy for a flexible graphical database design environment: An experimental study
This paper informally introduces a modular design strategy embedded in our graphical database design environment underlying graph grammar formalism...
A generative approach to database federation
This paper introduces a comprehensive, specification-based approach to database federation, supporting an integrated ODMG-93 conforming access to object-oriented and...
Graph based modeling and implementation with EER/GRAL
This paper gives a cohesive approach to modeling and implementation with graphs. This approach uses extended entity relationship (EER)...
A virtual reality interface to an enterprise metadatabase
A variety of semantic data models are inherently three dimensional (3D), yet are popularly presented in 2D diagrammatic outline...
On the applicability of schema integration techniques to database interoperation
We discuss the applicability of schema integration techniques developed for tightly-coupled database interoperation to interoperation of databases stemming from...
A fully flexible CAME in a CASE environment
A comprehensive solution is presented in this paper to the environment problem by integrating the concept of CAME into...
Integration of inheritance trees as part of view generation for database federations
Schema integration is the basis for successfully building a database federation. Current proposals directly integrate the different schemata using...
A rapid development model for meta-CASE tool design
