Inheritance as a conceptual primitive
Inheritance is one of the central concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP). In object-oriented design therefore a part of the...
IO2 an algorithmic method for building inheritance graphs in object database design
This paper proposes a method, called iO2, for building the inheritance graph of an O2 database schema. The iO2...
Workflow evolution
A basic step towards flexibility in workflow systems is the consistent and effective management of workflow evolution, i.e. of...
A model for classification structures with evolution control
We present a general model for classification structures that supports object role modelling. Objects can be associated with many...
Integrating versions in the OMT models
This paper shows how to extend the object, dynamic and functional models of the OMT method so that it...

Translation schemes and the fundamental problem of database design
We introduce a new point of view into database schemes by applying systematically an old logical technique: translation schemes,...
Schema design and knowledge discovery
Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD), often also referred to as data mining, aims at the discovery of useful information...
Decomposition of relationships through pivoting
In the literature there are several proposals to map entity-relationship schemas onto object-oriented schemas, but they only treat relationship...
Understanding the implementation of IS-A relations
Generalization/specialization hierarchies (IS-A relations for short) are basic semantic constructs proposed in most information system conceptual models. At the...
