Efficient data retrieval and manipulation using Boolean entity lattice
This paper proposes a technique to organize the database such that retrievals and manipulations will be operated on a...
An ontology based approach to the integration of entity–relationship schemas
In schema integration, schematic discrepancies occur when data in one database correspond to metadata in another. We explicitly declare...
On the design and maintenance of optimized relational representations of entity-relationship schemas
A method for obtaining optimized relational representations of database conceptual schemas in an extended entity-relationship model is first proposed....
View integration of behavior in object-oriented databases
Database schemas are often not de®ned by a single person but by several future users of the database who...
Conceptual language for statistical data modeling
We describe a new language for statistical data modeling. The language offers a general framework for the representation of...
Entity-relationship and object-oriented data modeling – an experimental comparison of design quality
We compare EER and OO data models from the point of view of design quality. Quality is measured in...
Semantic similarity relations and computation in schema integration
Schema integration plays an important part in research areas of heterogeneous information systems and semantic interoperability. How to acquire...
Different roles and mutual dependencies of data, information, and knowledge- An AI perspective on...
The unclear distinction between data, information, and knowledge has impaired their combination and utilization for the development of integrated...
An ontology-based expert system for database design
Although it is possible to encode a great deal of process knowledge about database design into a system, experience...
A logic-based information modelling language
A user-friendly language INFOMOD, intended for information modelling and information systems specification, is described. The language, based on predicate...
