Object-oriented database systems are the focus of current research and development efforts. Yet, there is no commonly accepted object...
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

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...
