An Ontological Analysis of Use Case Modeling Grammar
Use case modeling is a popular technique for representing the functional requirements of an information system. The simple graphical...
Support for modeling relationships in object-oriented databases
Modeling real-world applications typically consists of two parts: the representations of entities of interest, and the representations of relationships...
Cardinality constraints in semantic data models
Constraints are central to the notion of a semantic data model. How well a model captures constraints affects its...
