Specification preservation in schema transformations – application to semantics and statistics
Software design can be modeled as a sequence of transformations applied on initial specifications. In the database domain too,...
Reverse engineering of relational databases: Extraction of an EER model from a relational database
A methodology for extracting an extended Entity-Relationship (EER) model from a relational database is presented. Through a combination of...
Database reverse engineering: From the Relational to the Binary Relationship model
This paper describes an algorithmic method for transforming a relational database schema to a binaryrelationship one. The source schema...
A selective survey of the use of artificial intelligence for database design systems
One of the significant developments of research in Artificial Intelligence and databases is the adoption of knowledge-based techniques for...
Detecting summarizability in OLAP
The industry trend towards self-service business intelligence is impeded by the absence, in commercially-available information systems, of automated identification...
Complete rules for n-ary relationship cardinality constraints
An extended approach is presented for modeling data relationships that involve multiple entities. This approach unifies the relationship cardinality...
CLIPS–OWL: A framework for providing object-oriented extensional ontology queries in a production rule engine
In this paper, we define a framework, namely CLIPS–OWL, for enabling the CLIPS production rule engine to represent the...
Reducing the search space for conceptual schema transformation
In this paper we focus on the transformation of a conceptual schema into an internal schema. For a given...
Temporal and versioning model for schema evolution in object-oriented databases
In this paper we define the Temporal and Versioning Model for Schema Evolution (TVSE), a model that uses time...
ROVER: flexible yet consistent evolution of relationships
Relationships have been repeatedly identified as an important object-oriented modeling construct. Most emerging modeling standards such as the object...
