Using a knowledge learning framework to predict errors in database design
Conceptual data modeling is a critical but difficult part of database development. Little research has attempted to find the...
The relative importance of structural constraints and surface semantics in information modeling
This paper describes an experiment designed to investigate the use of structural constraints and surface semantics by modeling experts....
On augmenting database design-support environments to capture the geo-spatio-temporal data semantics
A database design-support environment supports a data analyst in eliciting, articulating, specifying and validating data-related requirements. Extant design-support environments—based...
The OO-method approach for information systems modeling: from object-oriented conceptual modeling to automated programming
Current and future (conventional) notations used in Conceptual Modeling Techniques should have a precise (formal) semantics to provide a...
Enterprise modeling and Data Warehousing in Telecom Italia
We present a methodology for Data Warehouse design and its application within the Telecom Italia information system. The methodology...
A conceptual modelling formalism for temporal database applications
Arguably the most critical of all activities in the development of an information system is that of requirements modelling....
Validating conceptual specifications through model execution
Traditional information modelling methods have been concerned with the important task of checking whether a model correctly and adequately...
The time dimension in conceptual modelling
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the explicit introduction of time modelling in a conceptual...
From UML/OCL to SBVR specifications: A challenging transformation
UML is currently the most widely used modeling language for the specification of the conceptual schema (CS) of an...
The ISAC-driven transition between requirements analysis and ER conceptual modelling
The principles of transitions and consequently integration between requirements analysis and conceptual modelling accomplished by ISACs change analysis and...
