Reflection in a uniform behavioral object model
We present the uniform meta-architecture of the TIGUKAT object model and show how it provides reflection in objectbase management...
Using queries to improve database reverse engineering
This paper describes a technique that supports Extended Entity-Relationship (EER) schema extraction from an operating relational database. In this...
Relative constraints in ER data models
Practical extensions to the Entity-Relationship (ER) model to support inter-entity constraints, referred to as relative constraints, are described and...
Reconstruction of ER schema from database applications: a cognitive approach
In the Forward Engineering phase, the designer modifies the database conceptual schema and produces a logical and physical schema...
Extracting an entity relationship schema from a relational database through reverse engineering
This paper presents a method for extracting a conceptual schema from a relational database. The method is based on...
Leveled entity relationship model
Layering ER diagrams has been a key tool to abstract the complexity of large data schemas generated by enterprise...
Formalised conceptual models as a foundation of information systems development
The more application semantics are added to a conceptual model, the greater the portion of the respective application system...
Abstraction levels for entity-relationship schemas
Schema abstraction is essential in different phases of the design process. During development, it supports browsing of repositories storing...
Coordination system modelling
We describe an approach to the coordination of application systems through the modelling and maintenance of inter-system dependencies based...
Virtual structures — A technique for supporting scientific database applications
Amazonia is based on a comprehensive model that includes a characterization of the development, representation, and evaluation of the...
