Towards a unifying logic formalism for semantic data models
In the paper we look for the solution of two problems: the unification of various paradigms of semantic database...
Knowledge-based approach for abstracting hierarchical and network schema semantics
Semantic meanings are lost in existing schema once the conceptual model has been mapped into logical model. To recapture...
A state-space approach for database redesign
Data conversion from an old version to a new version of a database is a critical task, whose results...

Performance evaluation of reverse engineering relational databases into extended Entity-Relationship models
A process for reverse engineering a relational database into an extended Entity-Relationship (EER) schema at a high level of...
Fundamentals of cardinality constraints
The Entity-Relationship model is frequently used during conceptual database design phases. However, this model can be enriched and then...
Transformation-based database reverse engineering
This is an abstract of a revision of the original paper (ER'93 pre-proceedings) that presents a DBMS-independent database reverse...
